Plot Wines is a small winery in the Okanagan Valley created by vigneron Kevin Rossion, and creative Adam Kereliuk. The name is a nod to their approach of sourcing an ever-changing roster of fruit from small plots of land – from their neighbours and partner growers across the valley. Using minimal intervention and a low-tech approach, their wines are a reflection of where they come from and have been guided, not forced, to their final state.
Kevin and Adam met DJ'ing parties in a giant igloo at Apex Mountain Resort over 10 years ago. They quickly became friends, and when Kevin started making wine in his basement, he gave Adam a couple of mysterious unlabeled bottles. Adam took them home wondering to himself if they could possibly be any good. Well, they were great. A few years later when Kevin told Adam he wanted to start making his own wine for real, Adam jumped at the opportunity to team up and design the brand.
Many small wineries source grapes on the open market from suppliers across the valley - but Plot celebrates this practice. By trade, Kevin is a viticulturist / vineyard manager and has great relationships with many trusted growers, giving us access to small lots of unique, quality grapes from different plots of land in the South Okanangan.
As with all our producers, we will be donating part of the proceeds from sales to a non-profit close to our heart. For Plot Wines, we have chosen to donate to the Mustard Seed. Please check them out.
Haze
42% Kerner, 30% Muscat, 18% Pinot Blanc, 10% Sauvignon Blanc
12.5% ABV
264 cases made
Vinification method: Haze is an ever changing blend, this year featuring Kerner, a winter-hardy German hybrid bringing aromatics and bright acidity to the party. The other varieties were left on skins for 5-7 days, adding complexity, and texture. Wild fermented, and unfined and unfiltered to showcase their true expression. Cold-stabilized naturally by putting the wine outside with minimal amount of S02 just before bottling.
Tasting notes: Bright, dry, and hazy with notes of young, crunchy peach and green apple skin - flashbacks of zesty lime margaritas.

Orange
89% Gewürztraminer, 6% Muscat Ottonel, 5% Muscat Orange
12.3% ABV
353 cases made
Vinification method: Half of the grapes were picked slightly early to bring more acidity to the mix, and 7 day cold ferment on skins was done before transferring to neutral oak barrels for 6 months. Wild fermented, and unfined and unfiltered to showcase their true expression. Cold-stabilized naturally by putting the wine outside with minimal amount of S02 just before bottling.
Tasting notes: With a nose of spiced citrus and jasmine tea, this dry skin-contact Gewürztraminer is bursting with notes of tropical fruit, young peach and witbier.

Rose
13.6% ABV
94 cases made
Vinification method: The grapes for this rosé came from a cooler site in Kaleden and were wild fermented in barrel. 48 hours on skins. Wild fermented, and unfined and unfiltered to showcase their true expression. Cold-stabilized naturally by putting the wine outside with minimal amount of S02 just before bottling.
Tasting notes: Soft cranberry yogurt nose, with citrus and red berry on the palate, and subtle grip and a hint of spice on the finish
sku: 894155 | 12 to a case | 750ml, glass, cork
CAB
Cabernet Sauvignon
13.9% ABV
211 cases made
Vinification method: Coming from a single plot near Oliver, it spent 16 months in French oak of varying age: with some new + 2 year old barrels, and the rest in neutral. It has rested in bottle for a year prior to this release (March 2023). Cold-stabilized naturally by putting the wine outside with minimal amount of S02 just before bottling.
Tasting notes: A fresher take on Cab: it's bright, juicy, and dry with classic cab notes of dark fruit and earthy leather. The palate offers flavours of cooked fig and fennel seed with a soft baking spice finish. The tannins are refined, silky, and not overpowering - letting the grapes’ characteristics really shine through.
It's tasting fantastic now, but we think it will cellar well until 2027+
sku: 894154 | 12 to a case | 750ml, glass, cork
Pinot Noir
100% Pinot Noir
13.2% ABV
220 cases made
Vinification method: The grapes for this delicate pinot came from a cooler lakeside site near our winemaker's home in Kaleden—16 months in neutral French Oak. Wild fermented, and unfined and unfiltered with minimal amount of S02 just before bottling.
Tasting notes: Light bodied. Soft tannins. Wild fermented. You'll find bright notes of cassis and cherry shining through, and complex earthy undertones supported by a long 16 month rest in neutral French Oak. On the right day it would be great to serve slightly chilled
