Mother Lode • Merlot ‘07
Golden Mile Bench
As the story goes, miners dream of finding the mother lode, the big one, the strike-it-rich discovery that One-Armed Reid and his cronies at Fairview yearned for. You’ve just discovered it!
Rustico’s Mother Lode Merlot is a big one. Dry barrel-aged, it’s complex, bold, rich, smoky, with peppered ripe cherry overtones. With a tumblerful in one hand try feasting on roasted Gulf Island leg of lamb, maple-sugar basted sweet ham, or crisply grilled Fraser Valley duckling.
Rustico (rus.tic) “simplicity and charm considered typical of the countryside • a rustic country setting, country, pastoral • architecture with rough-hewn or roughened surface, deeply sunk joints”
Toasting the ranching, mining and farming history of Oliver and Osoyoos in the South Okanagan, Rustico Farm & Cellars is ideally located on a southwest corner of the famous Golden Mile Bench. Our old-vines (many 45+ yrs.) enjoy a premier text-book terroir allowing for the creation of a most unique boutique winery portfolio.
Come visit and enjoy Rustico’s heritage sod-roofed, hand-hewn log farmhouse and share the ambience of our antique-filled, old-barn-like tasting room, picnic and shaded gardens offering sweeping vistas over hundreds of acres of neighboring vineyards. Some say we’re Canada’s most romantic winery!
And yes… every drop is 100% pure Canadian wine from the South Okanagan.
