SKAHA Vineyard 2015 Rogue
Tasting Notes
A fortified estate merlot with rich amber colour, a silky smooth mouth
feel along with aromas and flavours of butterscotch, raisin, ripe
cherry and nut.
Pairing:
Pair with Stilton cheese, dark chocolate or a butter tart.
Winemaking:
Hand picked, late harvest Merlot grapes, are whole cluster
pressed and then fermented in stainless steel. Alcohol,
distilled from our Merlot lees, is added before the fermentation
is complete killing the yeast and leaving the desired level of
residual sugar behind.
The Rogue was then aged in neutral, French oak barrels for 24
months, and the barrels are put outside in the sun to give it the
unique flavours of butterscotch, raisin and nut and a beautiful
deep tawny colour.
Viticulture:
SKAHA Vineyard is nestled above Skaha Lake in the beautiful
Okanagan Valley. Steep slopes of shale and fossilized sandstone
with lake influences encourage our vines to concentrate flavours
in the ripening grapes resulting in elegant, fruit forward wines.
Wine Specifications:
Size 500 mL
Alc./Vol. 20.1%
Total Acidity 6.8 g/L

Residual Sugar 118 g/L
