2021 En Famille Pinot Meunier

Pinot Meunier is an early ripening, higher acid red grape historically blended with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir when making sparkling wine. Our En Famille Pinot Meunier is a still, 100% varietal red wine sourced from a single vineyard that contains some of the first vinifera grapes planted in Naramata in the late eighties. JoieFarm has been working this vineyard for the past 14 years and, in the past, has used these Pinot Meunier grapes as a flavourful component of our Rosé as well as our sparkling rosé, “Plein de Vie”. Recent vintages, however, brought us particularly ripe and flavourful fruit so we were inspired to make a single varietal red wine from this special and valued site.
