Noble Ridge is proud to introduce: Noble Knights and Dames

Be Noble: Noble Knights and Dames

Noble Ridge aims to create premium wines and experiences to match. But we don’t stop there. We craft a culture of nobility for all we do in life. As part of our BE NOBLE program, this year we have hosted fundraisers and donated a portion of our tasting fees to four charities. Our 2019 Noble Causes are:

-Vaseaux Lake Stewardship Association
-Southern Okanagan Women In Need Society
-West Coast Kids Cancer Foundation
-South Skaha Housing Society

This desire to elevate our noble causes has led way to the release of a brand new label. Noble Ridge is proud to introduce:

Noble Knights and Dames

The goal of this label is to showcase people who emulate honourable traits of nobility, perform exemplary deeds, demonstrate effective contribution to their communities or profession and act as incredible ambassadors for Noble Ridge. Over time, each new Noble Knight or Dame will be honoured with a wine named after them. With admiration, our first inductees are:

What’s happening in the vineyard?

Where would we be without the efforts of our dedicated vineyard team? Without wine! One of the most important aspects of our business happens with hands among the vines. All 34.5 acres of our vineyards are cared for by hand. Our team guides the vines with a watchful eye to ensure their best health.
The vines prospered through unfavourable cold conditions in early April. By June, our plants had full foliage, ready to be thinned for ideal air flow and sun exposure. The summer gave us consistently sunny days, easy sprinkles of rain and only one noteworthy fire in the season (a major contrast to earlier years). Our winemaker, Benoit Gauthier, is left smiling.

And now, harvest has begun! One of the most fruitful but busy times of the year. In late August we kicked off the 2019 harvest by picking Pinot Noir and Chardonnay for our signature sparkling wines. Benoit noted high acidity and low sugar in the grapes that will offer a promising vintage.

Following closely, in the first week of September, we picked our Pinot Grigio. This variety comes from the Pinot family. Did you know that once ripened, Pinot Grigio clusters have a mix of red and golden coloured berries?

Benoit is following the weather closely for optimal days in the Autumn when we will pick the remainder of our fruit. Stay tuned to our social media pages for updates.
