2019 Sauvignon Blanc
Our aim is to make a classically styled Sauvignon Blanc with bright citrus fruits and subtle herbs. We then build texture and complexity by aging a portion of the blend on its fine lees with regular bâtonnage and add in a single barrel from one of our favourite coopers, François Frères.
2019 Gewurztraminer
SMALL LOT S E R I E S
By picking early, we captured the floral aromatics inherent to Gewürztraminer while retaining a bright freshness that is so easy to lose with this variety. We then worked to build texture in the cellar by aging a portion sur lie, instead of relying on residual sugar, as our aim was to make a bone dry style.

2019 Viognier
With diligent vineyard management, we were able to bring in gorgeous looking fruit at harvest even after a challenging, wet September. This meant we could use a little bit of skin contact for heightened aromatics and also have the fruit ripeness and weight to support aging in three beautiful Sansaud barrels.
2019 Moscato Frizzante
We wanted to produce a Moscato, but we wanted to do it our way: just barely off-dry, lightly effervescent, with moderate alcohol. It had to be food friendly and, of course, have Muscat’s floral aromatics, but we also wanted a notch more complexity. So, we blended three varieties of Muscat, with a portion undergoing a wild fermentation.
2019 Saignée
For us, the saignée method is all about harvesting Bordeaux varieties at phenolic ripeness, avoiding unripe, green characteristics, and then treating the fruit as gently as possible. The great mouthfeel is a result of sur lie aging, with a clean, bone dry finish that lingers with ripe red berry fruit.

Our Story
Play Estate Winery has been a passion project for the Pechet Family (Stagewest Hospitality brand). For years the group of business partners discussed opening a winery in the picturesque Okanagan region. The ideal location was found in the Skaha Hills Development overlooking Skaha Lake.
This was the moment Play Estate Winery was born!
Play Estate Winery features an iconic modern architectural construction which houses a wine shop, tasting bar and bistro with Penticton’s finest view. Beautifully accenting around the facility, Play features a 14 acre vineyard consisting of wine varietals such as Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscat, and Viognier.
Stage West Hospitality and our Team are proud to present the Winery and look forward to showcasing our crafted varietals. We welcome all visitors to browse our website or join us on site to enjoy a true Okanagan experience!
