Daydreamer Amelia 2022 (Syrah/Viognier)

This wine is a co-fermentation of Syrah and Viognier. It has aromas of violets, peppercorns, prosciutto and blackberries. It spent 10 months in predominately older French barriques allowing the spicey, high toned and savoury qualities to shine.

Herb-Butter Ribeye, finish with a drizzle of balsamic reduction for a sweet-savory contrast.

Enjoy through 2035!

Rachel and Marcus have both been “Daydreaming” about their own little wine company for forever and a day. They wanted to create a unique and memorable winery where a focus on fine wine is the ultimate goal. Grapes grown without systemic fungicides, herbicides and pesticides, small batch processing, with a sustainable approach is the mandate. They make limited production wines from the best sites in the Okanagan Valley with a special focus on the wines of the Naramata Bench. Okanagan Valley is unique because the North to South orientation offers a range of climates suitable for many of the best vitis vinifera varieties such as Syrah, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling Pinot Gris and Viognier.
