Overview
Chandra Estate Winery and Ecovitis Vineyard Ltd. is family owned and operated. The 10-acre, 12-year-old vineyard was purchased four years ago, but the winery only opened it doors in September 2008.
Together with Ecovitis Vineyard Ltd.’s sister property, located in Westbank, Chandra Estate Winery
offers a tantalizing selection of beautifully crafted wines that are full-bodied, yet delicate and engaged
with hints of fruit and spice. All Chandra wines have been branded VQA.
Their name was inspired by the South Okanagan’s spectacular, moonlit summer nights and a mythical tale, reflecting our culture and philosophy. Chandra derives from the Hindi language, and means ‘moon god’. Ancient myth states that the moon stores Soma – an ancient drink and lunar deity, which is said to be the elixir of immortality consumed by the gods themselves. When the gods drink away some of the properties, the moon wanes, and when the gods do not, the moon waxes. Traditionally, gardening practices have also been based on moon phases. The moon’s passage exerts elemental influences on a vineyard – water, earth, air, and fire – which are shown through the leaves, roots, fruit, and flower. A rising moon heightens vitality and a lowering moon influences the sap of the vines.
Chandra’s magnetic pull oversees the growth of the vines, and harnesses the moon’s energy. The result is the Soma of today.
Great wines begin with the land. Their vineyards are certified organic. Knowing that conventional agricultural practices have stripped the soil of vital minerals, they grow grapes the way nature intended – free from insecticides, fumigants, and herbicides.
They personally oversee all operations, exercising quality control, and employing methods, such
as low cropping yields to ensure that the vines and fruits receive the perfect amount of sunshine, water, and nutrients.
From the vineyard to the bottle, Chandra Estate Winery honours the land with its ongoing
commitment to quality, and to the environment.
Chandra Estate Winery is a unique fusion of culture and wine that is committed to excellence, and will continue to serve as an environmental steward.
Embracing Mahatma Gandhi’s vision, they aspire to:
