Varietal: When the grape variety in the wine is named on the label (Chardonnay, Merlot), the wine is a varietal.*

Expansion: There are now 136 wineries in BC and a further 7 with licenses pending, up from just 13 in 1984.

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

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

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