JoieFarm En Famille Reserve Pinot Noir

Our Reserve Pinot Noir is a clonal selection with the grapes sourced from four select vineyard sites on the Naramata Bench. These vineyards have been chosen for their smaller berried Dijon clones, which have finer tannins and more spicy aromas. Our approach to this wine is vineyard based and, as such, our winemaking process is relatively simple. We employ a clean, straightforward ferment followed by a gentle pressing, and the wine is aged for eight months in select Burgundian barriques. The wine is further aged for twelve months in bottle before release. A true expression of varietal and regional character, this Pinot Noir harmoniously intertwines fruity and earthy elements. It greets the nose with a bouquet of violets, lilac and pomegranate. An initial flavour burst of dark cherry and black current is met the gentle persistence of earthy cocoa nibs and espresso bean, with well- integrated acidity providing a refreshing lift. This wine will age gracefully for years to come.
