Growing Conditions

2015 began with warmer than average temperatures and a historically early budbreak in week two of April. A balmy summer continued to accelerate the growing season, with mid-veraison occurring in early August. Cooler temperatures in late summer allowed the flavours and tannins to catch up to sugar development, resulting in incredible intensity, balanced acidity, and optimal ripeness in all varieties.

Bottling

Date: 15 March 2016

Nose

A bright and vibrant Riesling, Decora has generous lemon and white flower aromas with nuances of Anjou pear, quince, and lime zest.

Palate

Dry with racy acidity, Decora hits the palate with an explosion of Okanagan peach blossom and nectarine flavours, bolstered by a chalky core. Full of verve and persistence, the intense depth of fruit and mineral character carries all the way through the memorable finish.

Food Pairing

Quiche Lorraine with Two Rivers ‘Old Fashioned’ ham; sautéed leek, mascarpone, and smoked salmon tart. Qualicum Beach Coquilles Saint-Jacques; Southern-style buttermilk fried chicken with summer squash casserole; citrus-glazed crispy pork belly with apple-cabbage slaw; and soft cheeses like The Farm House’s ‘Lady Jane.’
