Happiest BC Day from us and the gorgeous landscape

Happiest BC Day from us and the gorgeous landscape we’re lucky enough to work on and take care of each day. Beautiful British Columbia isn’t an exaggeration by any means, and we’re grateful for the climate here that allows us to make wines that challenge stereotypes about Canadian wines. Ways to celebrate the day can include: drinking local, booking a tasting with us, and maybe even just coming to visit us while you explore the Okanagan to witness our magical views! 🍷☀️

The highly anticipated 2019 Leggiero has finally arrived 🌟 an unmissable Chardonnay with a limited production of only 458 cases. Made in an un-oaked fashion (Neutral large oak casks used partially for textural gains and nuance addition), it is a wine that expresses the pure minerality of Chardonnay with beautiful acidity and crisp fruit flavours. Now available for purchase online, or maybe get lucky enough to try it at one of our tastings! Happy weekend 🍷

Joyous to see our beloved Moscato D’Osoyoos rece

Joyous to see our beloved Moscato D’Osoyoos recently reviewed by wine writer & scholar, @davidlawrason:

“Presented in a tallish, 500ml bottle this is a fabulous off-dry, gently sparking and low alcohol white patterned on Italy's Moscato d'Asti. It is rendered here with remarkable purity and acuity. It is only 9.9% alcohol, spry, effervescent and perfectly balanced. The aromatics are exuberant with mandarin/orange which is muscat's secret weapon. But also nuances of green tea, lavender and anise. The focus and length are excellent. An ideal summer sipper at the end of the night.” With 93 points and a 5/5 for value.

Thank you David, for tasting our wine and for your most thoughtful response!

Get yourself charmed & acquainted with our Moscato while it’s still 15% off, and if you come for a tasting you’ll be able to get it at $15.99 per bottle when you buy a case 🌟 Let us know what you think 💭

A Thursday evening experiment with our 2018 Moscat

A Thursday evening experiment with our 2018 Moscato D’Osoyoos. Using this wine for cocktails is the gift that keeps on giving! It has a lightness so it doesn’t overpower, but a recognizable presence that compliments other flavours accordingly. Although the Moscato is a delight on its own, don’t be afraid to get playful with it and incorporate other ingredients from your kitchen. The drink pictured has crushed apricot, half a lemon’s worth of juice, and foraged rose petals. Tip: it also makes for an exciting Sangria or Mojito if you’re looking to spice up a classic 🍹Moscato D’Osoyoos is simply a summer essential 🌞

Vibrant chive blossoms spotted on the grounds at LaStella. We’re so grateful to witness how nature provides for us in countless ways, and it’s beautiful to see the diverse array of plants in and around our vineyards! We pride ourselves on our sustainable vineyard work and organic farming practices, and these blossoms are just one of the many treats we get with how we show love to the land. Special tip: chive blossoms are edible and have light onion & garlic flavours that are perfect for cooking or for a fresh, colourful garnish 🌱🍽 #bcwine #okanagan #beautifulbc

2016 Espressivo is a complete wine, pairing the ripe fruit and Bravado of this notable vintage, with silky tannins and balanced acidity.
Blackcurrant, wild berry patch, bramble, herbal scrub and subtle barrel merge in a harmonious and endlessly drinkable red, destined to please.

Pair nicely with Agnello a Scottadito (Grilled Lamb Ribs) or Risotto Con Le Quaglie (Quail Risotto). Espressivo is usually a Wine Club exclusive wine, but we opened it up to you. It's time to get it! 📷 Italian Cuisine: Signature Recipes by Academia Barilla

2019 LaStellina Rosato is very aromatic, fruity, fresh & charming! It’s a blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Sangiovese Grosso. The Merlot and Cabernet Franc components were made via the Press Method while the Sangiovese grapes were bled (Saignée method). An important and noteworthy point is that the Merlot and Cabernet Franc portion of the blend was grown exclusively to make a rosé. That means we employ different canopy management techniques to focus on yielding low alcohol, high acid and bright fruit characteristics. It also means that we choose earlier picking dates to emphasize these characteristics and flavours.
Pairs perfectly with a sunny day, BBQ’s, Indian or Asian cuisine.
