2018 Epic release

The wait is over Epic fans! 2018 vintage is set for its tasting room debut on Thursday August 22nd. It’ll be on the list all weekend so be sure to stop by Thursday to Sunday from noon until 5pm for a sip.

Showcasing Epicure from Woodvine Estate in Comox, with 20% Ortega from Beaufort, this 100% Comox Valley grown blend offers a great snapshot of our cool, coastal terroir. It’s bright, crisp and lemon-hued, and we can’t wait to share it with you.

  • Cohen loves gathering site specific data, and this tool is one of his favourites for that job. A single bagged vine leaf, with stem attached, is placed in a pressurized chamber. Using a magnifying glass, Cohen checks for water that's emitted from the cut stem (petiole) and notes the pressure necessary to achieve the effect. … A pressure chamber allows us to gauge leaf water potential as a proxy for the vine's whole water status. In effect, we can see how much (or how little) stress a plant is under given its water supply. Gathering data like this helps us manage a regulated deficit irrigation program—a process that involves mildly stressing the vines in order to encourage the highest quality fruit at harvest. … At UBC, Dr. Simone Castellarin leads a team of researchers who study the impact of deficit irrigation on wine aroma and quality. It's an exciting time to be growing and making wine on Vancouver Island and we're always eager to learn with, and from, our colleagues in viticulture research. 🤓

  • We are so fortunate to have Grace join the Beaufort team for the summer season. No matter the task, she is ALWAYS this smiley and eager, which is absolutely the best disposition in a vineyard. Grace recently completed the Viticulture Certificate program at Okanagan College, and she’s stoked to soak up as much as she can about environmentally responsible grape growing and farming methods. Grace also has exceptional taste in candy so she really does fit right in. Welcome Grace and thank you for your hard work!💪👊💪 … Our summer newsletter will be hitting inboxes next week. If you’ve not already signed up to receive it, head to our website homepage and enter your deets! 📱🖥📬
