MtB Mt. Bubbles
Mt. Bubbles is farmed at Lost Horn Vineyard in Okanagan Falls. This unique site, with its cooler climate and rocky soils, gives this bubbly its necessary verve.

100% Chardonnay cool fermented in stainless steel, aged with lees contact, bottled frizzante style.
Exhilarat!on Brut Rosé
Each one of our vineyards has a distinct microclimate, lending unique flavour characteristics to the Pinot Noir used in this Brut Rose.
A summer bouquet of raspberries, peach, and freshly cut watermelon. The effervescence and bright acidity develop in to an uplifting and crisp finish.
2022 Bubbly Rosé
In the glass, expect to find mouth-watering aromas and flavours of wild strawberry, raspberry, rhubarb, grapefruit, cranberry, and delicate violets. This is a wine designed for celebrating all of life's simple pleasures - in good company.
The 2022 Season brought about some extraordinary challenges, and extra-ordinary joys for our family. Our lineup has officially grown as Proprietors Bobby Gidda and wife, Harpreet, as well as Christina Tumber and her husband each welcomed beautiful and healthy baby girls into our family. These beautiful little 'Bubs' are the inspiration for our new Bubbly Rosé. This extremely limited release was created to celebrate them.
This dry bubbly is enjoyable with or without food, and best paired with good company alongside life's everyday moments that make it magical. For something special, serve with oysters and a red wine mignonette.

2019 Fortified Vintage Foch
Our family’s heritage in the Okanagan Valley was established by the arrival of Richard Stewart Sr., ‘Poppa Dick’, one of the first Irish settlers to pioneer the rugged Okanagan Valley Landscape in 1908. Poppa Dick worked diligently and successfully in creating the family’s first agri- business. Today, more than 100 years later, our family continues his pursuit. In celebration, we dedicate this wine in recognition of his passion for the land and its fruit.
The Fortified Vintage Foch is made from 100% Marechal Foch grapes which have been fermented in stainless steel. Once the desired sweetness level was reached, it was fortified with spirits made locally at Okanagan Spirits using our Foch lees. Aged three and a half years in neutral French oak.
2023 Small Batch Red
This bright, bold wine is a blend of Pinot and Frontenac Noir. Frontenac Noir is a dark-skinned, winter-hearty hybrid that produces a medium-bodied wine with all kinds of fresh and juicy fruit on the nose and palate. This, combined with the delicate and elegant nature of the Pinot Noir, makes for a well-balanced and easy-drinking red. Medium body and well-integrated oak. Think cherry, raspberry, and strawberry on the palate. Perfect for pairing (think burgers or spaghetti bolognese) and for sharing (this is not mandatory but encouraged).
2022 Cabernet Sauvignon
Cherries, blackberries, toffee, and a hint of black pepper melds with caramel and vanilla from gentle oak ageing. Hints of dark chocolate linger on the finish. Enjoy with steak, lamb, or hard cheeses.
