Description
Each year we start a journey, filled with promise, with a new vintage in January. As each season unfolds, we travel across the waves of hope and yes, sometimes disappointment. Feasts and famines. Sunshine and pests, rain and breezes. Come October we harvest handfuls of delicious Oakville nested appellation grapes and set them off on their new journey - transforming them into amazing wine. Two years later we get to enjoy all that hard work with the release of this unique wine - 60 bottles, that's all. It's a journey - and one that is now ready to enjoy.
