Every year craft winemakers explore new adventures through illustrious tales capturing the essence of our

unique wines through our Restricted Quantities Premium Collection.

We invite you to create, celebrate and share these wines with your

family and friends.

The year 2020 marks Restricted

Quantities’ 20th anniversary of craft

winemaking in the luxuriously fabulous

style of the 1920‘s. At the height of the

second industrial revolution, the ‘20’s

were roaring. Motorized vehicles,

fabulous parties, luxurious clothes—the

champagne, spirits and wines were

flowing.

Restricted Quantities

2020 Program & Wines

We invite our craft winemakers to join us in

celebrating 20 years of wine with five new

premium collectable wines. Aptly named after a

popular 1920’s common phrases, and not to out-

do one another, each phrase carries a common

meaning of being “the best of the best”.

2020 Kit Components

Bourgovin RC212

This yeast was specifically developed in Burgundy, France for red

wine fermentations to enhance varietal character by emphasizing

ripe berry and fruit aromas.

QA23

This yeast Originating from the Vinhos Verde region of Portugal,

the QA23 was selected for enhancing the flavors and aromas of

grapes utilized in the production of premium white wines.

Recommended for styles such as, Chardonnay, Sauvignon blanc,

Chenin Blanc, Colombard and Semillon, the QA23 produces

fresh, fruity and clean wines.

Yeasts in RQ2020 Kits

French Oak

Wine is aged together with wood to enhance

the flavour, aroma and complexity of the wine

through the extraction of the substances from

the wood into the wine.

When compared to American oak, French oak

imparts more subtle flavours and firmer, but

silkier tannins which is ideal for lighter wines.

French oak contributes flavours such as cigar

box, cinnamon, and coffee.

American Oak

American oak is used by many winemakers for

the aromatic sweetness it contributes to the

wine.

On the palate, American oak provides a tannin

structure that accentuates the fruit on the mid

palate. While on the nose, it will contribute

aromas of vanilla, coconut, dill and moca.

Dried Grape Skins

The GenuWine Winery Grape Skins included in our three

red wine kits are made through a patented process of gently

drying crushed whole grape skins to retain original colour

and nutritional integrity. The skins are processed to

maximize colour and flavour extractions so that all their

goodness can be extracted in a five or six day fermentation

period.

Grape skins will add smooth tannins, robust colour, and rich

aromas to your red wines, making them more complex and

fuller-bodied. These bigger, bolder red wines will drink well

while young, but the goodness from the skins will also

continue to enhance the flavour of the wine when aged.

Premium Labels

Showcasing our magnificent RQ20 wine collection with premium, custom

designed labels that are likened to labels found in commercial wines.

Each wine has its own personality that is representative of the 1920’s era.

Our 2020 RQ wines are charming and glamourous!
