Wine & Dine: British Columbia

Saturday November , 2010 at 7:00 pm

 

The Okanagan Valley climatic region is much dryer than Niagara and unique as a grapegrowing region in western Canada. The valley is at the same latitude as the Rhine Valley in Germany and the Champagne region of France. The region stretches for 130 km, from Lake Osoyoos, on the 49º north latitude, just north of the Canada/US border, to the northern tip of Okanagan Lake. The lakes moderate the temperatures throughout the year. Intense sunlight and minimal rainfall allow the grapes to ripen to their full maturity, while cool nights help them to retain high acidity. These climatic conditions, along with a unique soil structure, produce wines that are full-bodied and highly flavoured with good acidity.
