Meyer Family Vineyards, Micro Cuvee Pinot Noir McLean Creek Vineyard 2020

For the 2020 Micro Cuvee, the grapes predominantly came from a block of Pommard Clone 91 with Clone 115 contributing one quarter. Winemaker, Chris Carson, selected two new French oak 500 litre puncheons from the Tronçais forest along with four one-year-old French oak puncheons from the Tronçais and Vosges forests to make up the Micro Cuvee. In keeping with their philosophy to maintain, as much as possible, a hands-off approach in the cellar to allow the true expression of terroir, this wine is unfined and unfiltered.

Meyer Family Vineyards has been crafting premium wines in the Okanagan Valley since 2006 and in 2010 they opened a tasting room in Okanagan Falls, British Columbia. Their team is built of passionate, dedicated wine lovers who have discovered the stunning views and charm of the Okanagan and everything it has to offer.

Their philosophy to produce the finest quality wines in the traditions of Burgundy, believing the wines are not made but grown. Each wine reflects the single vineyard of its origin, the soil, the meso-climate, the aspect and the people that hand tend the vines. Hand-harvested and hand-crafted, with great attention to detail and minimal winemaking intervention. Meyer Family Vineyards wines are produced from two main vineyards, the 1.62-hectare “Old Main Road” vineyard on the Naramata Bench and the 6.9-hectare “McLean Creek Road” vineyard in Okanagan Falls. We also work with passionate quality-minded growers in Kaleden and the East Kelowna area to round out our portfolio of terroir-driven wines.
