In 2023 a dream became a reality when we were able to purchase our 10 acre farm in beautiful, Summerland, BC. Our farm has a long history of farming organically and is one of the only vineyards in Canada growing Leon Millot. We are also growing Gewurztraminer, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay. The vineyard is situated on a west facing slope of sandy loam, granite and clay and gets plenty of sunshine. On the flat clay field our neighbours and friends just planted cider apples for their cidery, Dominion. The farmhouse is over 100 years old and is available for booking to welcome agri-tourism visitors this summer.
This is natural wine, baby! Neutral vessels, basket press, manual labour and wild ferments create these wines. The wines are made in a garage turned winery with basic winemaking equipment and a whole lot of happy hearts. Pamplemousse Jus works hard experimenting with unusual blends and winemaking styles to bring you the freshest, yummiest wines possible.
