The History


The Philosophy
During harvest, Paul and Willy, work with their friends to pick the grapes at the time they see fit – in some cases earlier and in some cases later than the grower – to achieve their signature style (balanced and fresh). They are proponents of organic farming and are in the midst of obtaining organic certification for their vines.
In the cellar, they vinify without temperature control using indigenous yeasts. The reds macerate for around 10-15 days - the first 4 days they are left untouched, so it is slightly carbonic. They then do gentle pigéage and remontage, before the wines finally go into old barrels (never new oak). There is no bâtonnage for the whites - but they do like to keep a lot of lees in the barrels focussing on texture and acid.
Production is small and allocations are very limited. Sign up for our newsletters or contact orders@thelivingvine.ca for more information on how to buy some for yourself!
