About the wine

Anthony von Mandl, son of European parents, graduated from the University of British Columbia, but soon realized that wine and food were his true passion. This led to a European education in the wine trade, which in turn brought him back to Canada as an importer and trader of fine wines. He could have built a winery in Napa or in the state of Washingtone. Instead, he took root in his native British Columbia, in the largely unknown Okanagan Valley wine appellation. He was absolutely convinced that his beloved valley could, with time and patience, produce sophisticated wines for an international audience. With his family at his side, he set out to make his dream come true.
