We are rooted in connection—to the land we care for and to the Okanagan Valley we call home. From the earth, to our hands, to your table, each wine forges a long line of connection that brings us all closer together. From our 50-acre property along the shores of Lake Okanagan, winemaker Taylor Whelan is building upon three decades of winemaking history and defining a new chapter with bright, expressive, North Okanagan Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and aromatic white wines. Our Wine Through thoughtful viticulture and considerate winemaking, we craft bright, expressive, and innovative Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and aromatic white wines that—year after year—show the vibrancy and life in the Okanagan. We capture a unique combination of season and site and bottle it for you to enjoy. We are among the first in the Okanagan to produce single-block wines that are vineyard-led. This approach tells the story of the unique blocks in our vineyards that naturally produce more intense, complex fruit, which our team isolates, picks, ferments, and bottles separately to capture their distinct character. Our Land On our fifty-acre Home Block Vineyard, situated along the shores of Lake Okanagan, we are building upon three decades of winemaking, and defining a new chapter with completely organic farming. To do this, we are nurturing a natural ecosystem and farming holistically. Our land is a web that all works together—plants and insects, chickens, worm and bees—all call this place home and each plays a role in getting the best quality out of the grapes. This vibrant ecosystem creates a crucial balance, preventing the need for herbicides and pesticides—giving you a completely natural expression of our land in every glass.

Depuis le 1er janvier 2004, le Conseil Interprofessionnel des Vins de Provence (CIVP) regroupe tous les vignerons et négociants des appellations Côtes de Provence, Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence et Coteaux Varois en Provence (ce qui représente 96% du volume des vins d'appellations d'origine de la Provence), permettant ainsi de : • renforcer le poids de la filière viticole provençale • avoir des moyens d’actions et financiers plus importants • valoriser les spécificités de chaque appellation ou dénomination de terroir. Les Vins de Provence (AOC Côtes de Provence, AOC Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence, AOC Coteaux Varois en Provence), c’est : + de 600 producteurs (560 caves particulières et 60 caves coopératives) et + de 100 sociétés de négoce qui produisent chaque année plus de 1,2 million d’hectolitres, soit l’équivalent de 170 millions de bouteilles (89% en rosé, 7% en rouge et 4% en blanc), sur une superficie totale de 27 000 hectares. La Provence est la 1ère région en France productrice de vins rosés AOC avec 38% de la production nationale. Elle fournit 4,2% des rosés du monde.
