Behind the scenes visuals of new & old life from the eyes of our cherished Winemaker & Viticulturist, Severine / @syvino2019 ! Here we have some fresh young leaves growing from our gracefully aged Cabernet Sauvignon vines, used for a true gem that you know and love, La Sophia. In the third image we have some emerging floral blossoms, followed by some tall indigenous plants that live amongst our vineyards. Last but not least, an epic vineyard view. Endless beauty in the details!

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, f

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.

LaStella looks lovely these days. The wisteria are in bloom, and when the wind picks up, the scent that emerges brings us back to basics like natural beauty and remind us that life goes on.
No matter where you are in this time of confinement, take the time to stop and look at the beauty of the world around you. Feel free to share with your friends, they will surely appreciate it.

Bottling is the ultimate step of the winemaking pr

Bottling is the ultimate step of the winemaking process. To successfully cross the finishing line, so many intricate parts of the puzzle need to come together on the same day, at the same place: the wine has been blended and lightly filtered, tasted approved, the empty glass, labels, corks, tin cap have arrived from all over the world, the team is in place despite the world being on hold, the bottling line has arrived, and staff is ready. The show can now begin like a symphony played by the orchestra. 23 688 bottles later, smiles and good mood are signing the day off, and Fortissimo 2018 is almost ready to swirl in our glass!
Salute!

#winewednesday We decided to re-release some wine

#winewednesday We decided to re-release some wine from our library: 2010 Allegretto Pie Franco Merlot in a 375 ml bottle. Extremely Limited! Only 20 bottles are available.
Alex, our Club Concierge, opened a bottle a few weeks ago, here is his tasting note:
«The rusticity of this wine is still in the foreground. Sour Cherry, stewed tomato, wild desert brush, a subtle gamy element, the tannins are supple, and the acidity is high. The cooler vintage of 2010 provides the structure to not only drink beautifully today (a 10-year-old wine), but this wine will be holding strong for the next couple of years.»
Salute! #merlot #exclusive #librarywine #lastcall #ladolcevita #piefranco #lastellawinery #bcwine #osoyooswineries #drinklocal #2010vintage

Spring in the Okanagan is magical. We feel lucky to be here to enjoy the blue sky, the lakes, and the colour of all the fruit trees in blossom. Everyday the scenery is changing and since we’re all staying home and staying safe, we want to share the beauty and bounty of the Okanagan with you. Let’s not forget to stop and smell the flowers. We should enjoy the simple things in life, all of these flowers are slowly but surely becoming fruit. #nofilter #okanaganvalley #okanaganbeauty #grateful #peaceful #flowers #beautifulbc #winecountry #fruitstree
