Averill Creek Joue Red
Details
Averill Creek was founded with their first vines planted in 2001, by former MD and wine educator Andy Johnston. Andy's passion for winemaking led him from Edmonton to vineyards around the world, before establishing Averill Creek Vineyard in the Somenos region of Cowichan Valley.
The fruit is estate-grown on glacial stone and gravel soils, using permacultural and dry-farming approaches. 100% Whole-bunch fermentation, followed by a “Ripasso” treatment using the pressed skins from the Pinot Noir.
Fully aged in stainless. No yeast, enzymes, or nutrients were added in the process. A small sulphur addition was made just before bottling. Unfined and unfiltered.
Region: Cowichan Valley, BC
Grapes: Pinot Noir + Marechal Foch
Tasting Notes: rosehips, haskap berry, wild blueberries, fallen leaves.
