Select Vintage
This wine is both expressive and vibrant, while demonstrating mineral restraint. The nose has essences of Asian pear, apricot and passionfruit with a touch of spice and white flower. The palate showcases ripe stone fruits with a rich savoury texture.

Dekleva Vineyard
Southwest of the town of Oliver, this vineyard contains some of the oldest Chardonnay plantings in Canada. Located beneath Mt. Kobau and the Thompson Plateau, these vines are approaching 50 years of age. Of unknown origin, the vines are an extraordinarily distinctive Chardonnay clone named Dekleva in honour of the family who planted this vineyard.
