About the wine

Anthony von Mandl, son of European parents, graduated from the University of British Columbia with a degree in economics, 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 retailer of fine wines. He could have built wineries in Napa or in Washingtone State. Instead, he set roots in his native British Columbia, in the largely unknown Okanagan Valley wine appellation. He was absolutely convinced that, with time and patience, his beloved valley could produce sophisticated wines for an international audience. With his family by his side, he set out to make his dream come true.
