Averill Creek - Charme de L'ile

Producer

Averill Creek is a estate producer, sourcing only a small percentage of their grapes. Their property is surrounded by forests, which provide both protection and a range of growing conditions, resulting in a unique character in the fruit, owing to varying amounts of sunlight and shade in different plots.

The vineyard is situated on Royston-Qualicum soil: a blend of glacial stone, clay, and old-growth organics, which allows sufficient drainage and root penetration.

In the vineyard, they take cues from both organic and biodynamic principles, taking both a permacultural and regenerative farming approach, with particular emphasis on soil. Their goal is to make honest wines that reflect their site and the vintage.
