KETTLE VALLEY WINERY
(NARAMATA BENCH, SOUTHERN OKANAGAN VALLEY, BRITISH COLUMBIA)
www.kettlevalleywinery.com
Kettle Valley Winery is a small farm based winery located on the Naramata Bench, Okanagan, BC.
Their focus is quality and by staying a small family owned and operated winery they believe that
their passion will show through in their wines. Naramata is easily the premier growing region in
British Columbia, with its moderate temperatures, abundant sunshine and cooling breezes. The
rolling hills and variable soil types result in growing sites with unique microclimates that can be
matched to the right varieties by an experienced grape grower. No matter what style of wine you
like, you will find it in Naramata. Drawing its name from the Kettle Valley Railway, which traveled
through the Naramata area on the east side of Okanagan Lake, the winery opened to the public
in 1996. Kettle Valley Winery is known for its dark, intense and well structured red wines,
including Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and blends such as “Old Main Red”.
Chardonnay has been the main white wine produced, but in recent years Pinot Gris,
Gewurztraminer, Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc have also proved popular. They are all flavourful
and aromatic, with a rich mouth feel.

100% Pinot Gris
Bob Ferguson & Tim Watts
The grapes for this wine come primarily from the vineyards of Ganhao and Elgert in
Okanagan Falls, Thibault in Summerland, Dhaliwal in Oliver, Pereira in the Similkameen
Valley, Cossentine in Penticton and the Cole vineyard on the Naramata Bench.
The grapes for this wine were handpicked between October 8 and October 20, 2013 at
approximately 24.9 brix.
The grapes were crushed and left on the skins to cold soak for two days prior to being
pressed off. A portion of this wine has been barrel fermented in older French oak before
being blended with wine that was fermented in stainless steel tanks.
This Pinot Gris was produced from handpicked grapes that were destemmed and cold soaked
on the skins prior to pressing. This process enhances the fruit flavours and results in a
salmon-coloured wine. That’s right! It’s a lovely pink! It’s also flavourful, aromatic and fullbodied with good structure, a rich mouthfeel and a spicy finish.

The Old Main Red from Naramata producer Kettle Valley is the winery's take on a Bordeauxstyle blend and it is a winner. The deep garnet coloured charmer is elegant on the nose and
palate and has a long, balanced finish.

Pinot Noir, Merlot, & other red wine grapes
Bob Ferguson & Tim Watts
This wine is a blend of Pinot Noir, Merlot and selected other red varieties grown primarily in
vineyards in Naramata.
The wine has gone through a full malolactic fermentation and was aged in American and French
oak before being blended to tank and bottled. The wine has been made in a style that allows it
to be very soft and smooth on the palate. Enjoy young.
Light and fruity on the palate. Nose of raspberry and flowers. This was a fun red blend of merlot
and Pinot that had more depth and complexity than expected for the price. Great every day
sipping wine that went well with two light pasta dishes.
Total production 350 cases of 750ml bottles.

“This comment is not intentionally rude but this wine reminded me of the story of the ugly
duckling that turned into a beautiful swan. This is an earthy and muscular wine with a porty
concentration of black cherry, liquorice and spice flavours. Just lay it down for five to ten
years and it will blow you away.”
