Gustav and Nadine Allander

Gustav has been the winemaker at Foxtrot Vineyards since its first vintage in 2004. Before landing in the Okanagan valley Gustav spent two years studying engineering at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. Once in the Okanagan he worked with various top wineries while at the same time enrolling in the Okanagan University College’s winery and viticulture program. It was here he met his wife Nadine.

Nadine joined Foxtrot Vineyards following the 2005 harvest. In the spring of 2007 she enrolled at Lincoln University in Christchurch, New Zealand and in the winter of 2008 graduated with a B.Sc. in viticulture and oenology. While in New Zealand Nadine was able to meet and consult with many of the top Pinot Noir producers in the country and bring this knowledge back to Canada.

Nadine and Gustav both spend much of their time in the vineyards during the growing season ensuring they have the best possible grapes to work with come harvest time. At harvest they use all of their combined knowledge, the best in old world and new world techniques, and state of the art technology to produce the best possible wines.
