Wine Pairing Wednesday! We've paired up the Moraine Cliffhanger Red with our appetizer The Brush Cutter.⠀ _____⠀ Moraine is a family-owned winery and vineyard overlooking Okanagan Lake, located just minutes from the city of Penticton. From its shelf-like location above striking clay bluffs, Moraine peers over the landscape and water. These iconic glaciated white clay cliffs comprise the breathtaking Naramata Bench and inspire the winery’s land-formed name.⠀ _____⠀ The winery owners are the husband-wife team of Oleg and Svetlana Aristarkhov, who, at a time when they were ready to make a life change, were enchanted by Moraine’s setting. The couple believes that wine offers one of life’s most simple, enjoyable, and accessible pleasures; and this philosophy spurred their leap into the wine industry. They relocated from Alberta, where they had lived for 15 years, to make premium Okanagan wines.⠀ _____⠀ The 2015 Moraine Cliffhanger Red is made of a mélange of both Merlot and Malbec grapes, both grown on the Anastasia Vineyard. The Fruit that made up this wine was hand picked, fermented in French oak and bottled on site. It pairs incredibly well with red meats and BBQ flavours, but the intensity of the balsamic reduction in the Brush cutter make this dish pop with the Moraine as well.⠀ _____⠀ Be sure to visit Moraine Vineyard next time you're in Penticton. ⠀ _____⠀ #morainewinery #morainevineyards #vqa #bcwines #pedalwinepairing #winepairingwednesday #wineandfood #wineanddine #kimberleybc #agoodplacetobe (at Pedal & Tap)
