THE FULL STORY:
[Osoyoos, BC] In 1998, Groupe Taillan of Bordeaux, France, entered Canada with a vision to create a world-class classic Bordeaux blend with a twist: the grapes would emerge from vines grown in the arid Osoyoos desert. This uniquely Canadian terroir was set to deliver incredible BC wines based on the grand traditions of Bordeaux.
The result is the now-revered Bordeaux blend, Osoyoos Larose Le Grand Vin, which was first launched in 2001. This wine, hailed as a rose in the desert, exceeded all expectations and put both the South Okanagan and Osoyoos Larose firmly on the radar of wine lovers around the world, placing Osoyoos Larose on par with the world’s finest wine producers.
Today the Osoyoos Larose Le Grand Vin is well known among wine critics and discerning wine lovers. Only available at retail and on wine menus across Canada, lovers of Le Grand Vin could not visit a winery or order directly from the source. Until now.
La Maison Osoyoos Larose – a unique wine subscription
Now the winery team is proud to announce La Maison Osoyoos Larose. With limited memberships offered, La Maison Osoyoos Larose is unlike any other wine club or winery subscription currently offered in Canada.
Shipments focus on this one incredible wine, giving members exclusive access to pre-releases of each vintage of Osoyoos Larose Le Grand Vin, as well as library wines going back more than a decade, and large format bottles.
“We are excited to be able to offer our passionate Osoyoos Larose fans this unique opportunity to celebrate our wines, and, essentially, life from the desert, with our inaugural list release. Shipments have already been mapped out for the next few years and we cannot wait to share these special wines.”
Osoyoos Larose CEO and winemaker Michael Kullmann.
The Winery Philosophy
“What we do at Osoyoos Larose is focus solely on the land, the grapes, and the wine in the bottle. We only use grapes grown in our own estate vineyard; employ sustainable, organic farming practices, and biodiversity in the vineyard informs everything we do to ensure only the best grapes and the very best wine.
Now, with the introduction of La Maison Osoyoos Larose, we are giving Osoyoos Larose wine enthusiasts a unique opportunity to explore just how carefully our wines are crafted, by giving them access to library wines which have been carefully cellared for peak enjoyment.”
