The Essence of British Columbia Chardonnay Grapes
BC Chardonnay grapes thrive in a diverse range of microclimates and soil types, each contributing to the unique characteristics of the wines they produce. From the sun-drenched vineyards of the Okanagan Valley to the rugged terroir of the Similkameen Valley, the region’s geographical diversity allows for a wide spectrum of flavors and styles.
A Symphony of Flavors in Every Sip
Our own BC Chardonnay is a testament to the excellence of this region’s winemaking. With each glass, you’ll embark on a sensory journey. Expect bright citrus notes, hints of green apple, and a subtle touch of oak that imparts a pleasant vanilla undertone. This wine is not just a beverage; it’s a harmonious blend of nature’s gifts and human craftsmanship.
The Art of Serving British Columbia Chardonnay
To fully appreciate Chardonnay, serve it between 10-13°C (49-55°F) in a classic white wine glass. This allows the wine to breathe, enhancing its complex aromas and flavors. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with a delectable dish, each sip is an invitation to savor the essence of the region.

While our BC Chardonnay is ready to delight your palate today, it also possesses the potential for aging. Consider cellaring a few bottles to witness the transformation over time. It’s a journey of evolution that rewards patience and curiosity.
