Harvest Update
Flood, Fire and #15

On October 26, we completed our 15th harvest. If there is one thing we've learnt, no two vintages are the same, and 2017 was no exception. 

The vintage began with a wet spring and significant flooding of Okanagan Lake. Fortunately that was followed by 75 days of Okanagan sunshine (and seemingly perrenial forest fire smoke) in July and August. Then boom, fall cooled off quickly as harvest began on September 22. 

We were very grateful to have all of our fruit off of the vines before the unusually early snow storm on November 3 (see pic). 

The 2017 vintage will prove to be an interesting one, with loads of opulent fruit, complexity and generous concentration. 

As we are almost sold through our 2016 whites, be sure to grab the last few bottles while they're still available, as the 2017 releases will not happen until the spring.
