Freeform Wines
Okanagan Crush Pad in Summerland is launching a new wine label, Free Form, that celebrates the winery earning organic certification for its cellar. The winery has achieved certification under the Pacific Agricultural Certification Society (PACS) program, making it one of only a handful of BC wineries to do so.
Starting with the 2017 vintage, Free Form will offer five wines: an ancient method sparkling wine, a skin-contact white, a Vin Gris, a Pinot Noir and a Cabernet Franc. The wines are made using organic grapes, native yeasts, free of additives and left to find their own course in the newly-certified organic winery cellar, all under the watchful eye of chief winemaker Matt Dumayne.
"In our pursuit of wines of place we celebrate the inherent difference and profile of each wine from each vintage. All are one of a kind - never to be repeated," says winery owner, Christine Coletta.
