In 1998, the Taillan Group, owners of Grands Crus de Bordeaux and international wine merchants, believed in a groundbreaking project and were convinced that the "terroir" of Osoyoos in the South Okanagan of British Columbia was perfect for their dream; the dream of a rose in the desert with a vision to create a world-class Canadian wine from classic Bordeaux varietals.

Osoyoos Larose is a 80 acres vineyard, facing west and overlooking Osoyoos Lake, planted with the 5 Bordeaux grape varieties: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot.

The union of centuries-old winemaking traditions and new-world, state-of-the-art equipment and technology was consummated on an arid, west-facing, 80-acre bench overlooking Lake Osoyoos in the South Okanagan, British Columbia. Their inaugural wine, Osoyoos Larose Le Grand Vin 2001 exceeded all expectations at home and abroad. Le Grand Vin 2001 raised the profile of all red wine produced in the South Okanagan and placed Osoyoos Larose on par with the world’s finest wine producers.

The unique geography of the valley creates a microclimate that is not only conducive to orchards, but also to vineyards that have been blooming all along the valley since the early 2000s.


True to its Bordeaux DNA, Osoyoos Larose produces only two cuvées, an iconic one (Le Grand Vin) and a premium one (Petales) made from grapes grown on site, without compromise, like a Grand Cru Classé of Bordeaux.

The current winemaker/COO is Michael Kullmann who works closely with the owners in Bordeaux to produce elegant wines that showcase the incredible quality of grapes grown in the South Okanagan.

The early success of Osoyoos Larose validated the extraordinary vision of an unlikely partnership and to this day inspires exceptional wine that rivals the best of the old and new world.
