Allegretto, named after a medium, playful musical tempo, is a very special single-vineyard wine we call a true Merlot. The vines are planted on their own rootstock (pie franco) in soils of pure white silica sand — this rare site delivers a level of transparency, elegance, and trueness of flavour seldom found elsewhere. A medium-bodied Merlot from a warm microclimate within a cool macroclimate, Allegretto balances New World generosity with Old World restraint. Expect a melange of red and black fruits, raw cacao nibs, wild desert herbs, and delicate earthy notes, all wrapped in mostly integrated tannins with just a touch of edge.
Hotter growing season, more new world styled
Cooler growing season, old school styled
Allegretto has always been a wine for collectors and Merlot lovers alike — and at $49.99, this is a rare chance to secure bottles from two outstanding vintages at a special rollback price.
Sourced from our finest parcels and crafted with precision, it showcases notes of dark berries, cured meat, black pepper, violets, and savoury spice — the hallmarks of a Northern Rhône-inspired Syrah, expressed through the lens of the South Okanagan.
This small-lot wine is made only in select vintages, with low yields and meticulous attention to detail. Powerful yet elegant, it will reward those who enjoy it upon release and those who choose to cellar it for years to come.
Hotter growing season, more new world styled
Cooler growing season, old school styled
