It was especially exciting since the phenolically ripe fruit was sourced from a single, lower-yield \u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e33 year old vineyard. This allowed inspiration to be drawn from the expressions of Beaujolais Cru-Villages which Vladimir \u003cspan data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003eSkok, Enoteka Niagara,\u003c\/span\u003e embraced while living in France. The ultra-clean fruit was first cold-soaked in closed stainless steel tank for 12 days to extract additional flavour and structure. Limited carbonic maceration took place in the anaerobic atmosphere. To counter excessive spiciness often noted in local Gamay, focus was to elevated fruit aromas, ripe berry and floral characters with the use of a select Burgundy yeast. Extended maceration prior to pressing added texture, complexity and colour. To encourage \u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ea supple, balanced character the wine was transferred to seasoned French oak barrels for two years of aging. After a final racking and filtration it was finally bottled. An additional 18 months of bottle élevage assured additional maturity and smooth tannins before release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003ePresents an alluring ruby colour that promises something more.\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eWelcoming aromas of red and some darker berry fruit, small field flower perfume, perception of anise and, surprisingly, \u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ea hint of something meaty.
