2020 John Oliver Malbec
John Oliver Malbec


In the heart of South Okanagan, a mystical presence resides. It is within the soils of our East Osoyoos vineyard block that the mighty Malbec takes form.

Hand-harvested and hand-sorted, the fruit basks in the southern sun followed by a slow fermentation on skins for 30 days,  extracting rich flavours from the juice. Aged for 18 months in French oak, this wine gains complexity with every passing day.

91 Points - Decanter World Wine Awards
"Perfumed nose of blue fruit, flowers and anise, leading to a palate of plush blackberry fruit and textured tannins."

Tasting Notes
Big, fruit-forward aromas of raspberry and goji berry are layered with smooth tannins leaving you wanting more with a lengthy finish.

Vineyard Notes
The 2020 growing season will be remembered for an early start, a dry summer, and warmer than average fall temperatures resulting in juicy flavour profiles and intense fruit quality.
