Vineyard News
With the outstanding weather thus far the 2013 vintage is shaping up to be one of the all time best. Our new planting of 2.5 acres Pinot Noir is thriving and we are very excited for the potential moving forward. Veraison started last week which projects an estimated harvest date of the first to second week in October for our Pinot Noirs with the Chardonnay most likely coming in the week prior.

Foxtrot Wine Reviews
Foxtrot’s Pinot Noir and Chardonnay recently received excellent reviews from John Schreiner and Jurgen Gothe respectively. Below are excerpts from the reviews as well as links to the full articles.
Foxtrot Vineyards Pinot Noir 2010 This wine begins with spicy cherry aromas. The flavours have a core of cherry and raspberry framed by the spice of expensive French oak barrels. The wine has begun to develop the rich, silky texture that is the hallmark of Foxtrot. 92-94 points
Foxtrot Coolshanagh Vineyard Chardonnay 2011 …The wine starts with a pretty straw colour and a solid whiff of lemon off the nose, opening up to big, bold tropical fruit and culminating in a lavish finish. An example of state-of-the-art Okanagan Chardonnay. Winemakers Gustav and Nadine Allander need do nothing else to assure their place in the B.C. winemaking pantheon.
