Le Vieux Pin is situated in Oliver, within the Okanagan Valley of Canada. This winery is dedicated to capturing the essence of traditional French winemaking while embracing the unique fruit character of the New World.

Wine Description
'Retouche' pays homage to the 19th-century Bordeaux practice of ‘Hermitaging’, where winemakers added Syrah to their blends to provide warmth and roundness. This wine is typically a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Syrah.
The sensory profile is complex and powerful, featuring a deep garnet colour. On the nose, it offers a melange of dark fruits such as blackberry, cassis, and plum, interwoven with savory notes of cigar box, grilled bell pepper, and earthy undertones.
