Precise, racy, taut.
Specializing in small lot (primarily white) wines, Terravista Vineyards is a gem on the vibrant winemaking region anchored to Penticton called the Naramata Bench.
Their second label En Terre is a new project, seven years in the making. En Terre meaning earthen or of the earth is the embodiment of this special wine series and also the name of Terravista's home vineyard. En Terre reflects their commitment to sustainability and mindful winemaking practices. It is about striking the balance between nature, land and innovative techniques.
The label's distinctive logo, a symbol of the brand's ethos of perpetual motion, draws inspiration from Davinci's golden ratio; a timeless representation of nature's balance and beauty.
There will be five wines in total, but for now, three have been released including a traditional method sparkling brut, a Cabernet Franc and this off-dry Riesling harvested from Okanagan Falls.
Classic aromas of crunchy peaches, green apples and lime with undertones of orange blossom.The palate is taut and racy but balanced; snappy citrus flavours mask the residual sugar beautifully. A lovely expression of Riesling.

Precise, racy, fcrunchy.
Specializing in small lot white wines (and a Syrah), Terravista Vineyards is a gem on the vibrant winemaking region anchored to Penticton called the Naramata Bench.
This blend of 63% Albarino and 37% Verdejo is only wine of these grapes produced in Canada. Grapes are grown at Terravista's home vineyard on the Naramata Bench at estate Lone Hand Ranch vineyard. Tough granitic soils of glacial origin characterize the vineyard.
It's a racy and verdant gulp with green apples, still crunchy peaches, wild flowers, grass clippings and lemongrass aromas. Cheek-sucking acidity describes the palate; mineral and citrus flavours dominate. Precise and lip-smacking it has a creamy edge and delicious weight on the tongue.

Considerate, slick, powerful.
Specializing in small lot white wines (and a Syrah), Terravista Vineyards is a gem on the vibrant winemaking region anchored to Penticton called the Naramata Bench.
Made from Roussanne from Naramata Bench and 20% Viognier (2019 is the first vintage Vionier was not the dominant grape) from the Black Sage Bench. The Roussanne was fermented in puncheons and the Viognier in neutral oak barrels. It's a powerful wine with candle wax and honey, golden fruits and lemongrass, wild herbs, spice and wet stone notes. A considerate wine, concentrated and slick on the tongue.

Creamy, texture, fresh.
Specializing in small lot white wines, Terravista Vineyards is a gem on the vibrant winemaking region anchored to Penticton called the Naramata Bench.
Notes of stone fruits and wild honey, star fruit and exotic spices morph into a fresh but creamy palate of lemon wedges, smoked brown spices, grass clippings and green almond. It has some phenolic texture on a lengthy finish that adds weight and chewiness.
Pair with Moroccan dishes and coconut curries.
