- A herbaceous bouquet of Okanagan sage lifts from the glass, followed by a black cherry that unfolds perfectly on the palate. Exceptional structure and strong, noble tannins are balanced with elegant natural acids and elevated cocoa and baking spice flavours. This wine's structured palate would pair perfectly with roasted chicken served with morels and other wild mushrooms.
Built on a legacy of quality and consistency, our Stewart Family Reserve wines are produced from some of the best and oldest vineyards in the Okanagan Valley. A gracious and welcoming legacy continues through this collection with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay benchmark expressions.
This vintage is made from a blend of our premium Pinot Noir blocks and clones grown at our West Kelowna estate. Some vines date back to the 1990s, giving this wine exceptional fruit complexity. The fruit was hand-picked, destemmed, and transferred into stainless steel tanks, which were cold-soaked for five days. After 12-18 days on skins, the wine was aged for 16 months in a combination of 34% new and 66% neutral French oak.

Winery | Quails’ Gate can trace its origins back to 1908, when the Stewart family first settled in Canada's Okanagan Valley, although the family planted vines for the first time in 1961, and the winery was founded in 1989. Since then, Quails’ Gate has become one of the leading producers of premium wines in British Columbia, and under current CEO Tony Stewart, the founding family remains committed to the winery. They are also committed to preserving their picturesque location with a demonstrable focus on sustainability and environmental stewardship by applying low-impact viticultural practices. Environmental stewardship has always been one of the pillars at Quails Gate. I feel a personal responsibility to protect this land for future generations.“ Tony Stewart, Proprietor & CEO: The Stewart family has been farming in the Okanagan for over 100 years. With this history comes a sense of responsibility for stewarding the land and protecting its future. At Quails Gate, sustainability is a policy of continuous improvement and a philosophy of doing more with less. We cultivate a culture of innovation throughout our business practices, operations, and supply chain. This commitment has reduced our waste by nearly 50% since 2010. |
