Roger and Nancy Dosman operate this winery near Duncan (which used be named Alderlea) on the slopes above Quamichan Lake. Established in 1992 Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir are grown on the slopes of this Cowichan Valley winery. Other quality white wine varieties, Pinot Auxerrois and Bacchus and a dark full-bodied red Clarinet, made from 100% Marechal Foch grapes round out their varietal releases. Alderlea also produces a powerfully aromatic white blend. Angeliquend a very dark rich port style wine Hearth.
Roger often uses a method know as tending to aid in the ripping of the grapes. Polyethylene sheets are draped over the vines in spring to accelerate growth through a green house effect. This is an aid for late maturing grapes.
