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

Hybrid: Grape varieties developed, typically by crossing European varieties with native North American varieties. The plant breeder’s objectives include developing varieties that ripen early, resist disease or are winter-hardy.*

History: In 1931, Calona Vineyards opened as the first commercial winery in the Okanagan.

Terroir: The sandy soil of the Black Sage Bench near Oliver reaches 300 feet deep in places.

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