Geography: Lake Okanagan, at 144 kilometers long and 3.5 kilometers average width, is the source of much-needed water for irrigation for vines in the Okanagan Valley.

Quality: The VQA designation (Vintners Quality Alliance) requires a professional tasting panel to approve each wine.

Labrusca: A family of grapes – Vitis Labrusca – native to North America.*

Botrytis: A fungus that attacks grape skins. In favourable conditions, it dehydrates grapes, allowing the production of intense dessert wines.*

History: In 1859, Oblate missionary Father Charles Pandosy planted the first vineyard at the Oblate Mission near present-day Kelowna.

*Schreiner, John - British Columbia Wine Country, Whitecap Books Ltd., 2003
