About the Winemaker
Erin Pooley | Little Frances
Erin Pooley is a first-generation winemaker whose path began in the Okanagan Valley. After a decade in California making wines under her own Little Frances label, she returned home to Alpine Valley in 2020, bringing her lo-fi, site-driven philosophy with her. At Eleventh House, Pooley channels that same balance of technical skill and instinct, working with native ferments and careful élevage to let each vineyard speak for itself. Alpine Valley is a hotbed of collaborative, independent winemakers... and Pooley has planted roots in this supportive community whilst pushing creative boundaries, establishing her own winery space, and planning an estate vineyard... busy gal!
