Wines Currently On Release:

Made from 100% Old Vine Sauvignon Blanc. Lemon, lime, pear, and concentrated red apples on the nose follow through to the palate along with ripe mango and melon. Moderate acidity lifts the juicy fruit for a relaxed, easily enjoyed, and versatile bubble for every occasion. Enjoy with salty snacks (think popcorn during movie night), grilled prawns, smoked salmon, or casual charcuterie.

We raise a glass of Patriarch Brut to family! Patriarch is dedicated to the familial tradition in the making and enjoyment of wine. Our first traditional method sparkler, Patriarch Brut is made from 100% Chardonnay made at C.C. Jentsch, the winery of Danielle’s father. In honour of her late father, Chris, the wine finished ageing at Lakeside Cellars prior to bottling. Expect a round, bready mouthfeel backed by lean acidity and crisp, bright fruit. Enjoy with your family, near and far.

In Provence, Franc, Cinsault is prized for its low-acid, low-tannin, and highly aromatic profile in rosé-making.  An early ripener with prolific yields, Cinsault was an experimental choice for our South-Okanagan vineyard site. The experiment was a success.

Fresh, vibrant, flowery. On the nose, ripe, tarty raspberries, currants, and a fistful of freshly cut wildflowers follow-through to a lip-smacking, juicy palate. Surprisingly dry, yet scrumptious. Pair with garlicky olive tapenade, weekday charcuterie, and summer weather.

Our inaugural vintage of Orange Muscat! Tarty, vibrant, and dry! Nectarines, white peach, and flowery nose lead to a refreshing, spicy palate with stone fruit, lemon peel, and quince. An easy patio refreshment, also a dangerous pairing with greasy indulgences (tempura, shrimp tacos, fries) and fresh seafood.

A refreshing blend of 75% Semillon, 25% Sauvignon Blanc. Smooth, subtle, and elegant. This classic French blend is a patio-friendly, summer sipper just as enjoyable with a casual supper as it is on its own.

Made from our old vines Sauvignon Blanc planted on Lakeshore Drive and made in a fresh, mineral-driven style. Fresh and vibrant, flowery orange blossom, grapefruit and freshly cut grass. A mouthwatering palate with juicy lemon and lime, pineapple and white peach. A quintessential seafood wine. Pair with oysters in the half shell, sushi, poke bowls, grilled trout, salmon gravlax or enjoy as an apéritif.

Floral, earthy and spicy notes lead the nose which follow through to vivacious fruit on the palate:  dark cherries and dirty raspberries. Look for hints of graphite and cinnamon, with dark chocolate and a long, finish. A smooth, round mouthfeel and elegant tannin structure make this a worthy match for roasted duck or beets.

Portage Red:  dangerously versatile, easily approachable blend. Grapes from family-managed vineyard sites on the Golden Mile and east bench in Osoyoos were selected for their juicy, fruit-forward concentration. 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, and 22% Cabernet Franc, underwent malolactic fermentation and cellar-aged in neutral French and American oak for twenty-four months before blending and bottling.

100% Cabernet Franc from the Golden Mile Bench in Oliver, expect bell pepper on the nose, violets, herbs, and earthy ‘funk’:  classic Cabernet Franc. A rich and concentrated palate of dark chocolate, blackberry, raspberry, and black cherries, subtle spice and dried herbs. Soft tannin and mouth-watering acidity make this an easy wine to pair, but just as pleasing on its own. 

Our Syrah is one of our only wines not sourced from Estate fruit; instead, we purchase a small amount from the Han Vineyard on the East bench of Osoyoos. This vineyard site is consistently ripe and complex with decadent fruity notes. Spicy white pepper on the nose, dark cherry, and blackberry. Lush fruit follows-through on the palate with baking spices and dark chocolate. Soft tannins and juicy acidity make this medium-bodied red versatile in pairing. 

Sourced from old vines planted on the Lakeshore in 1999, we take pride being the next family to farming this heritage planting. Juicy black currants, anise, and steeped bergamot tea on the nose with a hint of vanilla that follows through to the palate. Juicy red cherries and plum on the palate are balanced by woodsy herbs and lively acidity. 

A one-time experiment that's here to stay!

In 2019 we hived away 10 barrels of Merlot from the Desert Valley Vineyard on the Golden Mile Bench. We were delighted by the depth of character coming from our west Oliver planting, we decided to let the small production stand alone. Quintessential Merlot aromas of fruit cake, fresh blueberries and spices lead the way to a weighty and fulfilling palate. Heaps of fresh, juicy fruit on the palate along with vanilla, ginger, and a light raspberry leaf herbaceousness on the finish. A wonderful match for dark chocolate desserts, charcuterie, cheesy gratin or oven roasts.

2017 was a stunning vintage in the south Okanagan. A moderate, dry autumn allowed for slow, balanced ripening. From new French and American oak, we blended 37% Cabernet Franc, 33% Merlot, and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from our family vineyards.

A dark, enticing nose of blackberries, black cherries, cedary earth and vanilla bean consistent with a juicy, jammy palate with a hint of earthy funk, smoky bacon, and toasted coffee. Fine tannin structure and mouthwatering acidity make this wine surprisingly dangerous. A worthy addition to the cellar, a worthy wine for your dinner table. Enjoy with peppery steak, portobello mushrooms burgers, crispy potatoes with chorizo, grilled sausages, or aged cheese. Also a tasty accompaniment with dark chocolate dessert.

Rich, dark notes of juicy, ripe fruit, dark chocolate, and baking spices on the nose lead into a jammy palate with forest floor and cigar box. Soft tannins and precise acidity make this wine a worthy addition to the cellar. Age 5-7 years or enjoy with grilled/smoked, braised, or roasted red meat. Chocolate tarts and truffles, are another decadent way to enjoy this wine.
