Leandro NosalHead WinemakerWhat I do: manage all aspects of the wine making process to make premium Okanagan wines.
"my mother went to school to be a winemaker, you could say it’s a family tradition..."
I was born in Mendoza, Argentina with lots of memories of wondering through the vineyards with my grandmother. I fell in love with the Okanagan after visiting as the hot dry climate reminded me of my home in Argentina. Low intervention wine making while continuing to be a steward of the land is my passion and goal. The facts: I have an agricultural engineering degree from the Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, and a Master of Science in viticulture and oenology, which I achieved while studying in Montpellier, France and Torino, Italy. I was formerly the assistant winemaker at Cedar Creek Estate Winery, the assistant winemaker at Mission Hill Family Estate Winery, and most recently the assistant winemaker at Checkmate Artisanal Winery. |
