Tasting note

Deep ruby red colour with an interesting bouquet of forest floor, earth, wood, violet and ripe red berries. This medium-bodied wine has soft, drying tannins and food-friendly acidity. Juicy red berries, along with savoury notes of earth, sweet oak, black licorice and cigar box evolve on the palate. Juicy red berries, baking spice and allspice linger on the finish.

The Italianate collection is based on grapes grown at the Sandhill state vineyard. Three naturally showcases three varieties: Sangiovese, Barbera and Merlot. Therefore, it is the Okanagan Valley's only 'Super-Tuscan.' Or, maybe we can start a trend: OKITAL! Very precise on the palate with hints of cherry and savoury notes, it builds on the Sangiovese grape with complexity and nuance. Only 9 barrels made.
