To Kalon Vineyard: Prime Benchland Terroir
The To Kalon Vineyard is situated on prime benchland soils in west Oakville. The well-drained, alluvial fan soils combine with ideal sun exposure to yield rich, complex flavours and flawless fruit maturity. The Sauvignon Blanc was sourced exclusively from the Monastery Block; the Sémillon from P South, a block of To Kalon, south of Oakville Grade Road. (100% To Kalon Vineyard).
2019 Vintage: Winemaker's Dream
The 2019 vintage could be called a winemaker’s dream. A long summer brought smooth, even ripening. The season allowed an unusual luxury - to harvest each and every block at its ideal point of ripeness. It is a harvest to remember. The beautiful fruit for the I Block Fumé Blanc was hand-harvested between 2nd–9th September before ageing on lees for eight months in French oak barrels (41% first use).
