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

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

Varietals: 49% of British Columbia’s wines are white. 51% are red. In the last acreage survey conducted, 97.1% of the yield was from vinifera grapes and 2.9% from hybrids.

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

Geography: The southern Okanagan Valley in the area between Oliver and the border is classified as part of the Sonora Desert, which runs south to the Baja Peninsula in Mexico.
