Daydreamer Cabernet Franc 2022
This is the first year we have made a stand alone Cabernet Franc but I think it was worth the wait! This wine is deep and dark in colour and shows aromas of licorice, sage brush, flint, dark chocolate and black currants. The palate is rich and mouthfilling with soft tannins and a wonderful balance between high toned black fruit and Cabernet Franc earthiness.

Rachel and Marcus have both been “Daydreaming” about their own little wine company for forever and a day. They wanted to create a unique and memorable winery where a focus on fine wine is the ultimate goal. Grapes grown without systemic fungicides, herbicides and pesticides, small batch processing, with a sustainable approach is the mandate. They make limited production wines from the best sites in the Okanagan Valley with a special focus on the wines of the Naramata Bench. Okanagan Valley is unique because the North to South orientation offers a range of climates suitable for many of the best vitis vinifera varieties such as Syrah, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling Pinot Gris and Viognier.
