AboutLa Frenz
Jeff and Niva Martin established LA FRENZ near Naramata in 1999 after moving from Australia and working in British Columbia wine. Their daughters Elise and Jess helped clear the former apple orchard, later returning to bottling and harvest work as the property grew. The winery remains family-owned and family-run.
Its 62 acres are spread across six vineyards: five on the Naramata Bench and one on the Golden Mile Bench. The family matches varieties and clones to each site’s elevation, soil, aspect and heat, tending the vines by hand.
La Frenz 2025 Viognier
Canadian White
$39.99
Peach, apricot and orange blossom lead an open, aromatic nose, with apple peel and a touch of citrus adding freshness. The palate is full and silky but remains bright, carrying juicy stone fruit through subtle spice and a quiet suggestion of honey. Clean acidity gives the lush texture shape and lift.
La Frenz 2025 Chardonnay
Canadian White
$41.99
Ripe peach and cream give the palate generous weight, balanced by enough freshness to keep the oak in line. Notes of caramel and oatmeal add a gently savoury, toasty depth without overwhelming the fruit. Full-bodied and confidently styled, it finishes clean and refreshing despite its richness. Serve lightly chilled with roast chicken, salmon or creamy mushroom dishes.
La Frenz 2025 Alexandria
Canadian White
$42.99
Jasmine, fresh mango and cantaloupe rise first, followed by white peach, Asian pear and a delicate Turkish-delight note. The palate is fresh, flamboyant and softly off dry, with a luscious texture carried by enough acidity to stay elegant. Honey lingers through the generous finish. Serve well chilled with Thai dishes, fruit-led salads or soft cheese.
La Frenz 2022 Merlot
Canadian Red
$51.99
Deep ruby in colour, with ripe cherry and dark plum joined by baking spice and a measured note of vanilla. The palate is broad and supple, bringing black fruit, pepper and quiet oak into balance with fresh acidity. Fine tannins give the wine definition, while savoury spice lingers through a warm, composed finish.
La Frenz 2022 Semillon
Canadian White
$41.99
Grapefruit and gooseberry lead a bright, precise nose, followed by apple blossom, green kiwi and a light mineral edge. The palate is crisp but gently textured, layering lemonade, lemon curd and white peach over lively acidity. A savoury, citrus-driven finish keeps the fruit focused and makes the overall impression clean and energetic.
La Frenz 2025 Freedom 75 Vineyard Clone 21B Riesling
Canadian White
$33.99
Freedom 75 Vineyard sits on the Naramata Bench at about 1,500 feet, with a westerly aspect, sandy-loam and alluvial soils, and broad day-to-night temperature shifts during ripening. The site spans sixteen acres, thirteen of them planted, and average rainfall is about thirteen inches. Riesling is among the varieties established there, and Clone 21B supplies this bottling.
La Frenz 2024 Tudor Hills Vineyard Semillon
Canadian White
$41.99
Semillon fruit comes from a family vineyard in Washington’s Yakima Valley and is crafted into wine in British Columbia. Apple blossom, green kiwi and lemonade carry through the profile with lemon curd, peach and flint. The wine is highly fragrant and textured, with bright, savoury elements in the finish. This Washington-fruit release replaced the estate’s unavailable local crop for the year.
La Frenz 2022 Reserve Chardonnay
Canadian White
$48.99
Light lemon in colour, this Chardonnay presents light stone-fruit aromas. It is dry and medium-plus bodied, with a smooth, thicker mouthfeel and a buttery texture. Tropical fruit, butterscotch and sweet spices are also present. Fruit comes from the Naramata Bench in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley. It can develop in bottle for up to five years under the winery’s cellaring guidance.
La Frenz 2021 Aster Brut
Canadian Sparkling
$54.99
Chardonnay makes up two thirds of the blend, with Pinot Noir accounting for one third. Toast and autolytic notes sit with singed citrus fruit. The wine has low dosage, balance and a long finish. It is made by the traditional method in the Okanagan Valley. This white sparkling wine is produced from estate-grown fruit in British Columbia.
La Frenz 2025 Sauvignon Blanc
Canadian White
$41.99
Passion fruit, grapefruit and green apple lead, with fresh herbs and a light mineral note adding detail. The palate is concentrated but precise, balancing ripe fruit with vivid acidity and a smooth, polished texture. Citrus and subtle savoury notes carry into the persistent finish, making this expressive Okanagan white a fine match for oysters, goat cheese or grilled fish.
La Frenz NV Liqueur Muscat
Canadian Dessert
$38.99
Vibrant apricot and ripe peach lead an intensely aromatic profile, with orange blossom and fresh floral notes adding lift. The palate is lusciously sweet and full-bodied, yet the concentrated stone fruit remains clear and polished. Gentle warmth carries the flavours into a long, generous finish suited to slow sipping alongside dessert or cheese.
La Frenz 2022 Cabernets
Canadian Red
$52.99
Raspberry, cassis and ripe black cherry open an expressive, dark-fruited profile, with mulberry and a cool thread of spearmint. The palate is full and structured without becoming heavy, layering licorice, earth and cigar-box savouriness around the fruit. Fine-grained tannins provide a measured frame and carry the finish with clarity.
La Frenz 2021 Grand Total Reserve
Canadian Red
$79.99
Concentrated black fruit sits at the centre of this dry, full-bodied red, with tobacco and other savoury notes adding depth. Firm tannins give the palate a youthful, structured feel, so a generous decant is worthwhile if opened now. The finish is persistent and composed rather than heavy. Serve with roast beef, grilled lamb, braised short ribs or mature cheddar.
La Frenz 2022 Reserve Ensemble Sauvignon Blanc Semillon
Canadian White
$42.99
Jasmine, grapefruit and lemon thyme open with clarity, followed by honeyed vanilla warmth and a rich, polished texture. The palate is fresh and vibrant yet layered, brimming with lemon sorbet, lychee, honeydew melon and tarragon. Lanolin and golden hay add savoury depth to the finish. Drink now for its energy or cellar for further richness.
