Dylan and Pénélope Roche bought an eight-acre block on Upper Bench Road in Penticton in 2014. The Roche vineyard has 3-acres of Schönburger (which is a cross between Pinot Noir and Muscat) and 1-acre of Zweigelt. They purchase Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir and Merlot from Kozier organic vineyard on Naramata Bench bench, plus small amounts of Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon from Oliver. This pinot noir was hand harvested and fermented in stainless steel tanks with regular pumping over and pressed after 3 weeks on skins. The press wine was separated from the free run, the wine was then aged for 10 months in stainless steel and neutral French oak.
