Description:

Like the volcanic rock this wine is named after - this 100% Foch Sparkling wine has been shaped by pressure, heat, and release. The wine bursts with dark cherry, fig, plum, and blackberry notes with a kiss of cocoa, earth and baking spices. It's colour mimics that of red-hued scoria rocks born from volcanic fire. Effervescent - this wine is best served chilled.

Perfect Pairing:

Perfect for fireside date nights and Turkey Dinner feasts! The earthy notes of this wine pair beautifully with truffle infused dishes like Risotto, truffle fries, or grilled mushrooms with truffle aioli. Extremely food friendly and Off dry on the palate this wine also pairs beautifully with classics like chocolate, charcuterie and starry nights.

Additional Information:

Serve chilled at 6-8 degrees C.

Production Notes

Vineyard Notes

100% of the grapes used for making this Foch were grown in our Elliott and Smith Creek Road vineyards. These vines were planted throughout 1980–2009 and are all self-rooted. The 2024 vintage in the Okanagan was significantly impacted by a severe cold snap in January, followed by a hot, dry summer. This combination drastically reduced yields, with some vineyards losing entire crops. However, the remaining grapes ripened quickly and evenly, producing smaller berries with exceptional concentration. While production volumes were much lower than usual, the resulting wines show remarkable depth, complexity, and purity of fruit.
