ELEPHANT ISLAND

Spring 2023 (1)

NARAMATA, BC

Home to our family adventures growing and crafting beautiful wine and cider.

Elephant Island Winery launched from the farm in 1999 and Naramata Cider Co in 2017. Together these projects embody our family’s commitment to maintaining a healthy diversity in the agricultural landscape of our little corner of the world. All of our wines and ciders are made with low intervention, living fermentation techniques. What fruit we don’t grow ourselves is grown by farmers whose methods we respect, and who’s long term commitment to the craft is something we admire.

The acrobats in the cellar were hard at work filtering the Chardonnay today and getting it ready to bottle next week.. It was pretty tempting to jump in at the end! 🏊 🤤

Hope you are getting some quality family time today. ❤️
And yes, as Mom, I say doing chores together counts. 🎪

(Grady's technique of getting the chickens out of the coop may be questionable as verified by Mya's expression of "what will my brothers come up with next").

Time to send these wines off to the lab to make sure they're ready to bottle! 👩‍🔬
Which of these are you most excited for?! After trying them all myself, I honestly don't think I could give an answer... They are all DELICIOUS!

HAPPY, Happy, happy Valentines Day.
Happiest day of the year in our world today - It's barrel tasting day!

So many barrels to taste, so little time.

The exercise?
Smell, taste, spit, make notes ... smell, taste, spit ...
Discuss, agree, disagree? Taste again.

The goal?
Blend into a kick ass expressions bottle of Naysayer, of Think Again and the best of the best? ... stay in barrel for our Reserve Meritage.

Our pruner extraordinaire vreni and new tightrope walker Carley are speeding along. Before you know it, the sap will be flowing and spring will be here! 🌱 ☀️

February. For some it is the month of love, for others the longest month of the year. On the farm it is a month bundling up, of pruning and planning, of keeping the water defrosted and of slow cooked meals with lots of red wine on the table.

From our latest newsletter Dawn's Slow Cooked Leg of Lamb Stew recipe visit the link in our bio.

Perfect with a glass (or two) of Naysayer, Cab Franc.

Hydration is important. Even for barrels ...
First water, then wine.

Hope everyone has a great weekend! 🐘
