WINEMAKER PROFILE
Becoming our winemaker in 2002 at age 22 made Ken the youngest head winemaker in Canada at the time. This, at a time when our vineyards came into one of the largest crops we have ever had, made it a challenging time for a young, new winemaker. Despite that, Ken released his first wine, 2002 Riesling, which went on to win Best in Category and Double Gold awards in the U.S. and Canada.
