Juicy, spicy, intriguing.
Mt. Boucherie owns vineyards across the Okanagan, and in the Similkameen Valley. Coming from the southern Similkameen , near Cawston, Blaufrankisch (aka Lemberger) is indeed a rare variety, one which is dark skinned, late ripening and tannic, and is said to have come from Slovenia.
It's a spicy wine; aromas of wild berries, cedar, tobacco and white pepper lead to a supple palate with juicy berries and a wild character. Most notable is its freshness. An intriguing wine with good length that well-suited to a slight chill down.
