Production Notes
Vineyard Notes
100% of the grapes used for making this Gewürztraminer were grown in our Elliott and Smith Creek Road vineyards. These vines were planted throughout 1980–2009 and are all self-rooted. The 2024 vintage in the Okanagan was significantly impacted by a severe cold snap in January, followed by a hot, dry summer. This combination drastically reduced yields, with some vineyards losing entire crops. However, the remaining grapes ripened quickly and evenly, producing smaller berries with exceptional concentration. While production volumes were much lower than usual, the resulting wines show remarkable depth, complexity, and purity of fruit.
