Old Vine Wines from Tantalus

Nicholas Pearce presents the wines of an Okanagan pioneer.

Old Vines. Authentic Wines.

Tantalus Vineyards was founded on the belief that exceptional wines made from a single vineyard of outstanding pedigree would capture the imagination and palates of those seeking authenticity
and a sense of place.

The vineyard is situated on the eastern slopes of the Okanagan Valley, overlooking the shores of Lake Okanagan and the City of Kelowna. Originally known as Pioneer Vineyards, the site was first
planted to table grapes in 1927 and today is known as the oldest continuously producing vineyard in British Columbia. Today, Riesling vines planted in 1978 and Pinot Noir planted in 1983 make up the backbone of the vineyard.

Tantalus’ wine making philosophy is centred around the concept of terroir, or sense of place. All of the wines are made from fruit sustainably grown at the estate vineyard. A non interventionist approach to the wine making process allows each wine to convey the fine quality and unique character of this historic vineyard.
