Our Rosé is almost ready!
In a few more weeks you can enjoy our Rosé at home. LaStellina will be bottled at the end of February. There are a few steps left for Dave, our assistant winemaker, to do.

What is bentonite?
Bentonite is a natural clay with a fine and soft texture. It is gluten-free and vegan.

Why are we using bentonite?
To clarify, stabilize, and protect the proteins in the wine. We use it on our whites and rosé.

All the better to see that beautiful hue of pink, of course. Cin Cin!

2016 Allegretto Merlot Pie Franco ⚡️93 points.

2016 Allegretto Merlot Pie Franco
⚡️93 points. 17,25 / 20⚡️
«Canada's best merlot. From east bench Osoyoos' Le Faucon vineyard (ex-Stagg's) and its distinct sandy, white silica soils, this was planted in the early 1990s. The pie franco in the name signals that the vines are planted on their own rootstock (piè franco).
Finely textured with plum, thorns, wild blackberry, this has a tight and fine texture, pixellated acidity, and long, svelte tannins. So finessed and elegant you'd be very hard pressed to go to Okanagan (or Canadian) merlot.
Fantastic now, and will age beautifully.»

Thank you Treve Ring for this amazing review! 🙏🏻

Last call to put your hands on a bottle!!

Have a wonderful weekend.
Salute!

2020 in review: the individuals behind the scene s

2020 in review: the individuals behind the scene share with you their highlights of last year.

«One of my most rewarding memories in this very stressful year was meeting with new people who ended up bringing so much to my professional life but also my personal life. Dan Bilefsky from the NYT is one of them, Elyse Lambert, the Master Sommelier from Quebec and her friends, loyal club members, sommeliers from Vancouver: Andrew Forsyth, Maude Renaud Brisson, Leagh Barkley, Adriano Cartuliares (Victoria), and so many more. They recognize what we do, support it, and promote it. I am slowly realizing that as a team and myself included in that team, we are incredible! I am insisting that as a team, in this very stressful time, we all supported each other through the ups and downs.» - Severine Pinte, Winemaker & Viticulturist

«The unwavering support of some of our best customers and friends. Thank you so much for the phone calls and emails. We are so grateful for your well-wishes and support. Thank you for keeping us in your glass until our inevitable reunion in the tasting room.» - Wade Martin, LaStella Tasting room manager

«My highlight this year is not only seeing how great the fruit was when we processed everything this harvest, but how well everything is maturing in the barrel. 2020 is going to be an exceptional vintage and I think we all need something exciting to look forward to.» - Dave Marchand, Assistant Winemaker

«I am very proud of our entire nation for showing kindness, patience and support during the most unusual and scary time in my lifetime. We came together, we worked with each other and supported each other with a level of humanity and resiliency that is truly admirable. Pat yourself and those around you on the back. We did it and as of now, the light at the end of the tunnel is visible. In the next few months, with the arrival of vaccines and better weather, we should be all in a much better shape😊» - Rasoul Salehi, Diretor of Sales & Marketing,
