Gamay Noir 2023, Ravine Vineyard Estate Winery

From from fruit from our Gamay block in the Four Mile Creek Appellation. The vines were spur pruned and thinned to get the best quality and concentration of the fruit. This site provides lots of air movement, alluvial soils and sand. We had a great year with the steady heat units needed to develop ripe flavours and cool autumn nights to preserve the freshness and acidity of this wine. This wine was made using various winemaking techniques. A small portion of the fruit was fermented using carbonic maceration white the rest was fermented in tank (alternating between delestage and pumpovers). This wine was aged in barrel for 15 months.
