Harvested from a geologically select block of the estate vineyard, this Pinot Noir features 22 year old vines and 100% Stemwinder soils. The nature of the old vines drives greater complexity in fruit and is further enhanced by these rugged and hot soils.

Cabernet Franc is a notorious Similkameen all-star varietal. This micro lot has been a wine enthusiast favourite since we first began farming it, and is arguably our most popular varietal. Savoury sage, roasted pepper, coffee, black tea spice and plums make this a generous and concentrated wine. This wine is quite ready to enjoy.
Having the opportunity to continuously challenge ourselves is an important part of crafting premium wines. With this philosophy, our Cabernet was born. This micro lot was aged for 36 months in 40% new, 40% second use and 20% third use French oak barrels. Exercising patience, paying close attention and tasting the evolution of these 5 barrels has made this wine a masterpiece. It is with great pleasure we share with you this full bodied, rich and generous varietal Cabernet Sauvignon.
The Menhir of Corcelettes, Switzerland, is iconic. It stands tall and proud near the castle of Grandson, where the Baessler family originate. Corcelettes' Menhir wine features an 18 month French oak barrel program, following small lot fermentation with punch down extraction. Winemaker Charlie Baessler repsects the Similkameen terroir and allows our vineyards to lead the expression by exercising a gentle hand in the cellar.
Hand picked from the estate's Stemwinder soils, look for Cabernet's stewed black fruits and Syrah's sweet and spicy pip tobacco notes. Like the Menhir at Corcelettes, this wine is bold and proud. Unfiltered and unfined.
One of our coveted micro-lots, this Petit Verdot is nothing less than outstanding. Rarely found as a single varietal wine, Petit Verdot commands the very best grape growing sites and viticulture practice. Violets, olives and flint aromas leap from the glass. On the palate, rich dark fruits and bold tannins make a voluptuous, full-bodied wine. We are proud to offer this unique and exclusive wine.
We are beyond thrilled to share something very exciting with you, our Club Corcelettes members, first. Having now spent several growing years really getting to know our estate vineyard, climate zone and surrounding geology more in depth, we feel it is important to pay homage to this very unique terroir that we call our own. Like the uniqueness of our vineyard, this highly focussed red blend is like no other and commands a name like no other.
