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

Vinifera: A species of grape–Vitis Vinifera–that produces the classic wine grapes that have spread from the vineyards of Europe.*

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

Terroir: Borrowed from the French, this term encompasses the entire environment–soil, climate, aspect–that makes a vineyard special.*

History: In 1859, Oblate missionary Father Charles Pandosy planted the first vineyard at the Oblate Mission near present-day Kelowna.
