Growing Conditions
As pioneers of Pinot Noir in the Okanagan Valley, the winemaking team continues to raise the bar with this annual release. Sourced from a number of premium vineyards and a variety of clones, the 2019 vintage saw a cool spring followed by a moderately warm summer with consistent conditions and early flavour developments resulting in an exceptional Pinot Noir with great acidity.
Our passion is cultivating a respect for the land. The 160 acres of incredible soil we call home sits on a gently sloping bench below the extinct volcano of Mount Boucherie.
In addition to their prime location and ideal soil composition, our vineyards are meticulously managed and crop yields are kept low to ensure premium quality.
