What really matters?
Stewardship
The Blue Grouse Estate Winery team’s philosophy evolves from the
concept of “stewardship”, where our aim is to make everything we
touch better than it was when we found it. We apply this to training Bailey Williamson
our team of employees, the environment that hosts our vineyard winemaker
and home, the vines we grow, the wines we make, the infrastructure
which supports the winery and vineyard, and the economics of our
business model – everything.
People
We care deeply about family and friends, honesty, simplicity and
living a long and healthy life. We believe all this together will make
the Blue Grouse experience a lasting one.
Paul Brunner
proprietor
Place
The vineyard’s terroir encompasses wind protection by evergreen
trees, an all-Southern exposure, and a combination of clay and
gravelly soil, all nurtured by clean air and spring water. Thanks
to this exceptional site, the vines require little fertilization and
irrigation; just a drop of passion, a splash of dedication and a pinch
of obsession to make the difference!

Fitzpatrick Family Estate Vineyard features 40 acres of vines
separated into 12 smaller, carefully-tended blocks. Fitzpatrick
grows seven varietals in their vineyard: Chardonnay, Ehrenfelser,
Gewürztraminer, Meunier, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir, and Riesling,—
and not by accident. They arrived at the decision to focus on
traditional method sparkling wine, crisp whites, and elegant,
focused reds over the course of twenty years of listening carefully
to the story the land has to tell, and it’s a special one.

Sarah Bain, Winemaker
Sarah began her path in the wine industry working in the
vineyards of Central Otago, New Zealand, in 2004. It was
just a summer job to start, but it only took one vintage to
convince her that growing and making wine was her future.
Since then, her career has been based mainly in Central
Otago at two leading organic and biodynamic producers. She
worked first at Burn Cottage making premium quality Pinot
Noir, and then at Quartz Reef: one of New Zealand’s leading
producers of Traditional Method sparkling. Sarah has also
worked vintages in California, Germany, and Canada. And
now again in Canada with Fitz.

PINK MILE ROSÉ 2018
The 2018 growing season was slow to start
after a long cold snowy winter. A cool, wet

into a hotter than normal dry summer. This lead
to some anxious moments due at Fitz wine

LOOKOUT RIESLING 2018
The 2018 growing season was slow to start
after a long cold snowy winter. A cool wet
prolonged spring seemed to turn overnight into
a hotter than normal and dry summer. Autumn
gave us a taste of all seasons however allowed
us good hang time which helped maintain our
signature site acidity.
The 2018 Riesling is a blend of estate grown and
hand sourced fruit from the Mannhardt vineyard.
Our Riesling is always about the interplay
between sweet and sour. The residual sugar
is actually quite high but you’d never know it
because the level of acidity is as well. So what
looks like a sweet wine on paper is anything but,
and the sugar provides roundness to the wine
rather than sweetness. We pick early to keep
the alcohol levels down, and the end result is a
round and rich, yet crisp and refreshing wine.

2018 SYRAH ROSÉ
Amalia Vineyard, Osoyoos
Play Vineyard, Penticton
The delicate hue of this wine might mislead you
to think that its flavours could be similarly muted,
but we’re here to tell you: that’s absolutely not
the case! Aromas of wild strawberries and cream
jump out of the glass, and are joined by a burst
of ripe stone fruit and citrus. The red fruit profile
carries through to the palate, as does the rich,
stone fruit character. Not without substance, this
Provence-style rosé is mouth-filling and textural,
with juicy acidity and a gentle tannin structure
that bring both balance and focus to the wine.
The finish is dry, savoury and mouth-watering.

Deep roots in French tradition
nourish our shared passion for
soils, vines and wine. Dedicated
to natural, artisan farming and
winemaking, we strive to reveal the
intimate relation of wine and terroir.
Each of our wines is the expression
of one place, one exceptional
Okanagan terroir. Hands-on farming
is our first priority, and this artisanal
scale is reflected in the very limited
quantities produced. We strive to
make wines of ever greater clarity
and precision.

Domaine Roche
On the southern edge of the Naramata Bench, this vineyard
overlooks the city of Penticton and Okanagan Lake. The twenty-
year old ungrafted vines are deeply rooted in a mix of silt, organic
matter and gravel. The gentle westward slope at the base of
Campbell Mountain ensures good drainage and ideal exposure.
We farm our vineyards using organic methods. Environmental
stewardship is important to us for the health of our family and
ecosystem, and for the contribution it makes to the quality of our
wines. This vineyard site adjoins the winery and includes 3 acres
of Schonberger, 1 acre of Zweigelt, 1.12 acres of Chardonnay and
0.63 acres of Pinot noir. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay were planted
in summer 2017.
Kozier Organic Vineyard
Planted in 2007, Kozier Organic vineyard is located on the
Naramata bench, 4 km north of the winery. The 15-acre vineyard
is a gently sloping amphitheater, steeper as it approaches the
mountainside. It faces west toward Okanagan lake. Gravel,
sand and organic material from the mountainside above mix
with denser glacial silt. The certified organic farm benefits from
the synergy of a warm microclimate with cool soils ensuring
long, even ripening. Merlot, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Viognier and
Gewurztraminer are planted according to variations in slope
orientation and subsoils to meet the needs of each variety.
Pénélope Roche
Born with wine in her blood, Pénélope counts six generations
of viticulture and winemaking at Château Les Carmes Haut-
Brion, the small family estate whose elegant wines rival the
Crus Classés of Bordeaux.
From oenology and viticulture studies in Bordeaux to
winemaking in Spain, New Zealand and Australia, Pénélope
brings to the Okanagan a profound and holistic understanding
of the grapevine’s relationship with its environment, from a
winemaker’s perspective.
Pénélope is also a wine growing consultant, and teaches
viticulture at Okanagan College.
Dylan Roche
Dylan left North Vancouver in 2000 to work as a bicycle
mechanic in Burgundy and suffered a conversion experience;
a diploma in viticulture and winemaking in Beaune led to
apprenticeships in the Côte d’Or, Chablis, and New Zealand.
Five years in Bordeaux included teaching oenology and
sensory evaluation classes at Château Lynch-Bages in Pauillac,
and managing a small winery in Margaux. Dylan has been
farming vineyards and making wine in the Okanagan Valley
since 2011.
