Block 10 at Greata Ranch is the vineyard we harvest twice. The aspect of the land causes the Chardonnay on the south side to ripen ahead of the north. So we harvest the south first and then the north as much as two weeks later when the fruit is perfectly ripe. It’s twice as much time and effort but the result in the bottle is twice as good. All our winemaking decisions get the same attention to detail as Block 10 does. And the results show in every bottle. On that, you have our word.

A NOT-so-little, little thing

We source our grapes from nine unique vineyard sites. This might be the quintessential Okanagan Chardonnay.

what we smell 

Almonds and pineapple.

what we taste

Baked apples. Melon.

WE'd eat it with 

Fanny Bay Oysters.

WE'd also pair it with

Hank Williams' 1951 hit, Hey Good Lookin'. It's great oyster-shucking music.
