The reputation — the story that sells at the table

Set a new standard for northern Okanagan pinot noir; demonstrates that Lake Country can produce wines of genuine distinction at the cool end of the valley spectrum.

Practice
Curtis and Sheri-Lee Krouzel's estate at the 50th parallel north in Lake Country — the most northerly benchmark pinot noir estate in the Okanagan Valley. Planted 2010–2012; Bertus Albertyn consulting; elevation and latitude provide natural acidity and cool-climate elegance.
