Juicy, spicy, intriguing.
Mt. Boucherie owns vineyards across the Okanagan, and in the Similkameen Valley. Coming from the Lazy River Vineyard in the Similkameen, near Cawston, this 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 has grapey aromas woven with red berries and cedar, forest floor, vanilla and rum toddy undertones. The palate is juicy and fruity with notable spiced flavours. Fresh, approachable and intriguing; a wine with good length that well-suited to a slight chill down.
