WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes for Tip-Toe are sourced from select sustainably managed vineyards across the Okanagan Valley. Each variety—Riesling, Gewürztraminer, and Viognier—is harvested at optimal ripeness and fermented separately in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. This cool, slow fermentation preserves the delicate primary fruit and floral aromatics. After fermentation, the components are carefully blended to balance the high natural acidity of Riesling with the weight of Viognier and the exotic spice of Gewürztraminer, leaving a touch of residual sugar to harmonize the palate.
