Quails’ Gate Estate Winery Old Vines Foch 2005
Quails' Gate Old Vines Foch is produced from vines as old as the winery itself. The rich, dark red complexion, inviting nose and smooth taste make this one of the winery's standouts. You can taste ripe blackberry, and the tannins are smooth, well-balanced, and provide a lovely finish.
We paired this with BBQ'd steak and a pasta salad. The Old Vines Foch is recommended by BC Wine Lover for anyone who enjoys fine, modestly-priced reds.

I’m an Australian and have never heard of a wine called ‘Foch’. Is it a varietal or a blend?
Are there any Canadian wines exported to Australia?

Here’s a link for more info about this varietal:

As for exports to Australia, it’s possible that very small and select exports happen down under, but typically large winemaking regions tend to dominate the market.
That said, we’ll look further into the question.
