“Above the eastern shore of Okanagan Lake, our Home Block Vineyard has a tiny section that features seams of two distinct soil types. This variability allows for Riesling grapes to grow with unique, intense flavour concentration. I hand select the bunches for this wine in the vineyard, which I then ferment very slowly with organic yeast. The result is a fresh, vibrant Riesling that is truly delicious.”

– taylor whelan, winemaker

the vintage

2019 was up until September, near picture perfect. Warm days, but not too warm, cool nights, but not too cool, set the ripening process on a trajectory of ideal balance. With September came cool weather and some rainfall, but with careful attention to sorting and managing harvest dates, we feel our hard work paid off with wines of ideal balance and intense fruit character. In particular, the lively acidities have produced wines which are bright and fresh.
