Last week, Severine started her 24th harvest - 11th for @levieuxpin and @lastellawinery. She said, «I still feel the butterflies tingling in my stomach, still feeling that adrenaline rush as the first bin is processed.»
It's an exciting time of year. Have fun with your team Sev. We wish you all the best.
Santé! #harvest2020 #winemaker #winelover #bcwine @winebcdotcom

Véraison has begun! We are in the last stretch before harvest. The grapes are ripening, the sugars levels are rising, and the acid levels will be dropping. During this period, the colour pigments, the flavour compounds and tannins are developing. We hope that Mother Nature will stay kind to us because we need warmth and sunny weather well into October to get the job done🤞☀️🍷. #veraison #viticulture #organicwine #substainableagriculture #bcwine @winebcdotcom #levieuxpin #levieuxpinwinery #mothernature #wine #winelover #grapes #vineyardevolution #vintage2020 #okanaganwine

Spring has been a bit more rainy than usual. Summer took it's time to arrive. But it's here now!
The weather is fantastic. It's warm. The landscapes of the Okanagan Valley are gorgeous and so green.
Keep your eyes open; nature is beautiful wherever you are!
Without the rain, we would never fell thankful for the warmth of the sun 🙏🏻
Happy Friday! #nofilter #gratitude #grateful #explorebcwine #explorebc #beautifulbc #winecountry #summervibes #okanaganvalley #oliver #oliverloop

The wine journalist @davidlawrason just shares his opinion of our latest release of Ava:
«Ava is inspired by the whites of the south of France made from roussanne, marsanne and viognier. In this vintage roussanne takes the majority position at 51%, followed by viognier at 36% and marsanne the balance. It was fermented and aged in French oak, new tulip-shaped concrete vats and stainless steel. It is a very fine nuanced and balanced wine, quite rich yet elegant. The nose is gentle with yellow plum, starfruit and florals plus vanilla, light spice and toasty nuances from frequent lees stirring. I am most impressed by the delicate balance and smooth texture, with 13.6% alcohol in check and very good acidity. The length is excellent with lemon joining the mix. Fine to enjoy now although I suspect more complexity in a couple of years.
Tasted June 2020.

Observing, comparing, recording are essential parts of our sustainability program. Vines are now almost reaching the 3rd wire everywhere, and berry set is happening.
From Vineyard in Osoyoos to vineyard North of Oliver, 25 min drive in between, almost pea-sized berries in Osoyoos while flowering is just finishing in Oliver.
Isn't it fascinating following nature growing? #viticulture #bcwine #okanaganwine #organicwine #wine #nature #winemaking @levieuxpin #lastellawinery #growingseason #vineyard #regenerativeagriculture @sustainablewinegrowingbc
