Hillside Winery & Bistro - Naramata Bench
Hillside made a brilliant tactical decision to focus on Naramata fruit about seven or eight years ago, long before anyone in the Okanagan was seriously talking about sub-regions.
Winemaker Kathy Malone proposed the idea after experiencing the commonality of flavours among Naramata wines when tasted against the rest of the Okanagan. Coining the term locavin a clear nod the locavore” food movement she set out, with the support of owner Duncan McCowan to revamp Hillside to a producer of only 100 percent Naramata grown fruit.
The change did not come without risk. With no fallback position on outside fruit to bolster the harvest, every vineyard must be farmed to perfection to tell its story. The good news is the resulting stories are so juicy the winery has upgraded its merlot program releasing three individual single vineyard merlots that illustrate the its commitment to the Naramata Bench.
Hillside’s forward thinking has put them in a prime position to take advantage of any future announcement (thought to be only matter of time) on a Naramata sub-appellation. As it is, you can experience these wines now and have them served alongside numerous dishes whose ingredients originate on the Naramata Bench at the spectacularly sited Bistro inside the winery. It’s a great place to while away an afternoon or a sunset and watch the folks of Naramation pass, walk cycle or drive by on their way to the future.

New Zealand Wine: Central Otago - Felton Road
Central Otago is located in the southern tip of the South Island of New Zealand, and it is the most southerly winegrowing region in the world. Protected from the ocean by high mountains of up to 3,700 meters of altitude, Central Otago is the only region in New Zealand with an authentic semi-continental climate. The region has in recent years been widely recognized for its outstanding Pinot Noirs, which account for more than 70 percent of its production. The other main varieties planted are Riesling and Chardonnay.
Our first stop was Felton Road, which is located on the warmer north-facing slopes of the Bannockburn subregion. Felton Road has been producing wine in Bannockburn since 1997. Its facilities have a modern gravity-fed winery and its vineyards -- all farmed biodynamically -- are Demeter certified. Felton focuses on Riesling, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with each variety having a regular bottling under the Bannockburn label, and one or more single vineyard bottlings depending on the variety.
In this video, James met with Blair Walter, senior winemaker at Felton Road. Blair explained that one of the main factors that singles out Central Otago from the rest of New Zealand is the semi-continental climate that the region enjoys. Other wine regions in New Zealand have the moderating effect of cool ocean breeze, which in turn creates a more temperate maritime climate. As Blair explains, Central Otago is locked in a mountain basin that creates high daytime temperatures, but also cool temperatures at nighttime. This temperature variation adds depth of color and flavor to the wines, in addition to its well-known freshness.
When asked about what differentiates Central Otago Pinots from the rest of New Zealand, Blair explained that the contrast between nocturnal low temperatures and hot daytime ones creates a different ripening curve. The different degrees of ripeness that result from CO’s continental climate and altitude give the winemaker the opportunity to create more complexity in the wines. And this, as Blair states, “is a great platform to be working from.
Be sure to also check out Nick's new tasting report on 60 Central Otago 2012 pinot noirs.
