Growing Regions: There are five main DVAs (Designated Viticultural Areas) in British Columbia — the Okanagan Valley, Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, the Fraser Valley and the Similkameen Valley.

Meritage: Rhymes with heritage. A term created in California to identify blends made with Bordeaux grape varieties.*

Fermentation: The natural process in which yeast converts sugar to alcohol.*

Organic: A technique for growing grapes without using chemicals such as pesticides, herbicides or commercial fertilizers.*

Brix: A measure of sugar in grapes: one degree Brix equals 10 grams of sugar per litre. Mature grapes are typically 21 to 25 Brix, equating to 11 to 13 percent alchohol after fermentation.*
