The wine region of Okanagan Valley

Main vineyard of western Canada, unique climatic contrast. Cooler north: fine Pinot Noir with red fruits, mineral Riesling, balanced Chardonnay. Sunny desert south (Osoyoos): firm Cabernet Sauvignon, round Merlot, spicy deep Syrah. World-renowned specialty: Icewine from Riesling or Vidal, sweet and concentrated (apricot, honey, candied fruits), from grapes frozen on the vine.

The wine region of British Columbia

Canada's west-coast benchmark, wine heartland in the Okanagan Valley. Semi-desert continental climate, marked temperature swings: signature Pinot Gris (pear, honey, spice, round palate), fresh, fine Pinot Noir (cherry, undergrowth), precise Chardonnay and taut Riesling in the north. Hot south for dense Cabernet Sauvignon, round Merlot and peppery Syrah. Also exceptional Icewine (Vidal, Riesling).
