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).
The word of the wine: Malolactic fermentation
Called second fermentation or malo for short. It is the degradation (under the effect of bacteria) of the malic acid naturally present in the wine into milder, less aggressive lactic acid. Some producers or wineries refuse this operation by "blocking the malo" (by cold and adding SO2) to keep a maximum of acidity which carries the aromas and accentuates the sensation of freshness.
