Quails' Gate The Connemara is a prestigious Bordeaux-style red wine produced in limited quantities by Quails' Gate Winery, located in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, Canada. This wine is available exclusively to the winery’s club members, further emphasizing its exclusivity.
The Connemara is a meticulously crafted blend of grape varieties, including Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc. In its inaugural 2014 vintage, the composition consisted of 55% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 15% Cabernet Franc. The grapes were fermented using wild yeasts and aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, after which the wine was bottled unfiltered.
This wine is characterized by intense notes of ripe black and blue fruits, such as black cherry and dark plum, with undertones of cedar, graphite, violet, and clove. The name "The Connemara" pays tribute to the founder’s great-grandfather’s love for the Connemara region in Ireland, which he considered the most beautiful place in the country.
