Following a severe winter freeze in early 2024 that devastated local crop yields across British Columbia, the winery launched its \"Proyecto Terruño\" (Terroir Project). This initiative allowed the estate to sustain its production by sourcing premium fruit from select Pacific Northwest and California vineyards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis specific single-vineyard bottling features Albariño sourced from the family-owned Grand Island Vineyard, located in the Clarksburg AVA of California's Sacramento Delta. This site is celebrated for its maritime-influenced microclimate, which mirrors the grape's native European conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWine Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Terravista Albariño \"Proyecto Terruño\" Grand Island 2024 is a crisp, highly energetic, and mineral-driven white wine that beautifully translates California fruit through a precise Okanagan winemaking lens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brilliant, clear pale straw-yellow with subtle platinum glints.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Highly expressive and aromatic.

The fruit was hand-harvested from the Grand Island Vineyard in Clarksburg, California. To preserve the pure varietal character, winemaker Nadine Kinvig fermented the wine primarily in stainless steel tanks. However, a portion was fermented and aged in concrete eggs, a method that introduces gentle oxygenation and lees contact to build a creamy textural weight without masking the fruit. The wine is bone-dry (0.0 g\/L residual sugar) with an alcohol content of 13.0% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine’s distinct saline character and zesty, refreshing acidity make it a perfect match for fresh seafood.
