Our Wines:

Italian educated winemaker Loretta Zanatta's forte is champagne style wines and with her husband, Jim Moody, they produce wines with a strong emphasis for food pairing.  All our wines are produced 100 percent from grapes grown on our Glenora vineyards,  giving total control over quality and true Vancouver Island wines.

Glenora Fantasia Brut

Made in the traditional method, this sparkling wine has been aged on the lees for a minimum of 3 years. We use 100% Cayuga grapes, gently pressed immediately upon harvest to produce this very unique sparkling wine. The result is a bouquet of green apples carried through in the small persistent bubbles.

Fatima Brut '05

This sparkling wine is made in the traditional method of Champagne using Pinot Gris grapes.   Our Fatima is rich in toasty notes and has an excellent integration of carbon dioxide (a profusion of small persistent bubbles).  

Allegria Brut Rosé

This Champagne method sparkling wine has been aged on the lees for a minimum of 18 months. A raspberry hued cuveé of Pinot Noir with a very rich, fruity body and gentle aromas of strawberries and raspberry. 

Taglio Rosso (Brut)

This very deep red sparkler is done in the the traditional method of champagne.  Using Cabernet Sauvignon and Castel grapes, Taglio Rosso is aged on the lees for 12 months to maintain it's youthful fruitiness.  Very limited production

Ortega

Ortega is the first wine variety we released upon opening in 1992. Producing since 1989, this cross of Siegerrebe and Mϋller Thurgau produces a fruity full-bodied white wine. A dry white wine, with a hint of Muscat makes it a good pairing with spicy Asian or Indian cuisine.

Pinot Grigio

The growing of our Pinots is very intensive thus expressing their complexities and our regional characteristics. Pinot Grigio is a complex, full body, dry white wine. This unique wine pairs well with many dishes, especially rich white meats and seafood.

Damasco

A subtle blend of four varieties and a unique vinification gives Damasco its fruity bouquet and rich 'mouthfeel' with a slight effervescence. Light and fresh, it makes a perfect appetizer or sipping wine, but is also very suited to Asian or light west coast foods.  

Pinot Nero

Our Pinot Nero is grown on our steepest gravel slopes, producing complex fruit and spice flavours.  Aged in a combination of old and new French barrels to produce subtle oak flavours with highlights of vanilla and tobacco with an integration of black pepper and raspberry notes.
