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

Terroir: The Okanagan Valley has five officially recognized sub-regions — Kelowna, Naramata, Okanagan Falls, Golden Mile, and Black Sage/Osoyoos.

Must: Unfermented grape pulp or juice.*

Viticulture: Grapes for Icewine are harvested at -8° Celsius or lower, and often by moonlight.
