Quails' Gate Estate Winery Old Vines Foch Reserve

• Grapes: Marechal Foch
• Certifications: VQA

This wine is made with fruit from 42 year old vines that Richard Stewart Jr. planted at Quails’ Gate’s estate vineyard. Marechal Foch is an early ripening grape that is harvested at the beginning of October. A French hybrid with very small compact berries, it combines new and old world wine styles with bright but intense dark fruits and earthy complex notes. Fermented with vigorous French yeast strains and matured in spicy new American oak barrels, this wine will reward careful cellaring for up to 5 years.
