Acidity: This natural tartness in grapes and other fruits contributes to vibrant flavours.*

VQA: VQA=100% BC - All British Columbia wines bearing the VQA symbol must be made from 100% BC grown grapes. The wines are screened by a professional tasting panel and wines found faulty cannot be sold as VQA wines.

Must: Unfermented grape pulp or juice.*

Tannin: A compound in the skin and seeds of grapes that is essential in providing substance and backbone to red wines.*

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.
