Tune in for some real talk where Severine shares insight on how climate change has been affecting us and our region as a whole; what is at risk, what we are observing in recent years and how we are adapting.
Earlier this spring, Severine Pinte, head winemaker and viticulturist at LaStella (and sister winery Le Vieux Pin) was recognized and knighted by her home country of France.
When we started with our first vineyard acquisition in 2004, the idea was to practice organic and sustainable methods since day one and that is exactly what we have done to date. we eventually got our actual certification paper in 2021, but the spirit in which we have tended our business was there since day one.
in this article, BC's foremost wine critic and authority shares his top 10 Sustainable wines of BC.
Winemake Severine Pinte is in the midst of making her best wines at Le Vieux Pin and LaStella. LaStella Maestoso Solo Merlot 2019 and LaStella Espressivo 2019 were especially mentioned.
L'équipe au vignoble fait également chaque jour des tests de pression d'eau sur les plants de vigne. Ce travail consiste à prendre une feuille et à la passer dans un appareil qui détermine les taux d'humidité et les niveaux de stress d'une vigne. Avec de la pression, l'eau sort du pétiole. Cela nous permet de voir s'il faut donner plus d'eau ou si l'irrigation qu'on a faite pendant la nuit ou la veille est encore en action, explique Séverine Pinte.
