OUR SINGLE VINEYARD
WINES
Our ESTATE Vineyard Wines are produced on our home vineyard here in the Cowichan Valley. A premium piece of land perfectly suited for grape growing. They are 100% estate grown, organically farmed, dry farmed and the vinification is allowed to take place naturally without commercial yeasts and other additives that dictate a recipe. This low intervention approach is what allows the transparency of each vintage to shine through the honest expression of each of our unique terroir-driven wines.
Our WOLFF Vineyard Wines are produced from the Chateau Wolff vineyard located in the hidden valley of the Millstone River just east of Nanaimo. One of the originally planted vineyards on Vancouver Island, these mature vines produce a very pure expression of Vancouver Island Terroir. They are 100% estate grown from this single vineyard, organically farmed, dry farmed and the vinification is allowed to take place naturally.
