The inspiration for Petit Rouge was to make a wine that adheres to the same exacting standards and level of care as the rest of the wines at Le Vieux Pin, yet at the same time is more accessible upon release. Made from the fruit of younger vines and vines pruned and cropped at less stringent levels, Petit Rouge offers a big bang for your buck.
In 2024, many vineyards and wineries in the Okanagan were severely affected by a devastatingly heavy frost. This left many vines either dormant for the year, producing no fruit - or worse - killed off entirely and needing to be replaced. You will find some 2024 vintage wines from the 2024 vintage used fruit imported from the USA's Pacific Northwest (Washington and Oregon), which allowed suffering Okanagan wineries to have at least something to release as their vines recovered or were replaced.
The 2024 Petit Rouge from Le Vieux Pin is one such wine.
