2015 provided one of the hottest vintages on record in BC. Viognier loves sun drenched days to ripen it’s thick skins and provide lush notes of apricots, citrus and an intense florality.  Fermented in our salt air at 40 Knots Estate.

Traditionally made by fermentation and aging in French oak puncheons.  This with the superior aging of our Vancouver Island rich salt air creates a classic.

Gently pressed to tank resulting in an exceptionally balanced and dry West Coast specialty.

These handpicked grapes are destemmed and rested on skins for 24 hours to provide delicate tannins and beautiful Rose Color.  

A lush rendition of an Alsatian staple.  Pear, nashi, and Granny Smith apples all shine through with sweet nectar notes. 

A stainless steel driven Chardonnay to reflect the freshness and purity of fruit in this timeless variety.  Showcasing the vineyard and not the barrel.  A clean, fresh, and disrobed Chardonnay.

Designed as an all-encompassing white wine to showcase the delicate, refreshing, yet complex wine style only found on Vancouver Island.  Clean fruit, hand harvested and whole bunch pressed.  Slow and cool fermentation in stainless steel to retain aromatics.

Schonberger and Pinot Gris fermented and aged on skins in Italian Terracotta Amphora.  No intervention, just patience.  When timing was perfect, grapes were pailed from Amphora and screened to stainless without pressing.  

Hand made chalice by Elementerra Art Studio located in Comox.  Enjoy with traditional wines aged in Amphora.

Seal it with a promise.  Open to renew.  The crate is handmade locally by Cumberland Crate Company and contains two wine glasses, a bottle of 40 Knots Levee du Soleil Rose French Traditional Sparkling which becomes grander with age just as your love does.
