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).
The word of the wine: Bleeding
Old practice for red wines. As soon as the vat is filled with grapes, the tap is opened. A sweet but clear juice escapes from the vat (it can also be used to make rosé). The colour and density of the juice is enhanced, but it should not be overdone. Rarely more than 10% of the volume of a vat, otherwise you risk losing fruit and bringing in bitterness.
