Charming, silky, bouncy.
Made entirely from Naramata Bench berries from the Deep Roots Vineyard. JoieFarm is one of BC's best when it comes to a Gamay made as an homage to those of Beaujolais.
The aromas here are: sweet black tea, sun-warmed raspberries, star anise, vanilla, cocoa, dried violets and botanical. Bouncy and precise, lively and charming with a silky texture.
Benefits from a brief chill the fridge for 10, before pouring.

Charming, silky, pretty.
Made entirely from Naramata Bench berries, JoieFarm is one of BC's best when it comes to a style more similar to Beaujolais.
This vintage offers sweet cherry, wild raspberry, white pepper, crushed violets and lilacs atop an earthy core. The palate is juicy and disarmingly vibrant with a silky texture. It's medium-bodied with a mouthwatering finish and truly fancies a chill the fridge for 10, before pouring.

Perfumed, pristine, crunchy.
A wine I look forward to each new vintage. As the name suggests, there is a consistent purity to this wine, which is made from estate grown Moscato Giallo.
Grape-y and honeyed aromas float out of the glass along with the perfume of jasmine and apricots. Tangy citrus and crunchy green apple flavours are both intense and pristine. That purity crosses the finish line with lime and peachy flavours.
Lovely concentration, outlandishly expressive and virtually endless.

This glorious Muscat is wonderfully fragrant and is my favourite of the JoieFarm portfolio.
It's pale straw in colour with the extraordinary scents of lavender soap, ginger, rose petals and lychee, white grapes and orange zest. It attacks your palate with white nectarine, grapefruit peel, lavender pastilles and star anise. It boasts an oily texture, has a whisper of sweetness, amazing concentration and a potent and lengthy finish.
Pristine. Made from Moscato Giallo and Moscato Canelli both grown on the Naramata Bench.

This dry Muscat, wonderfully floral and fragrant - has become my favourite Joiefarm wine...
It's pale straw in colour with a pinkinsh tinge and features lovely grapey aromas layered with apples, orchard blossoms, honey, tangerine peel and juicy limes. The palate is immaculate - mouthwatering flavours echo the aromas and the finish leaves behind traces of tangerine peel and apricot.
I generally offer food pairing suggestions, but this I want to drink all on its own.
