BC HARVEST FAST FACTS

BC’s most planted grapes: Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Merlot and Pinot Noir.
A grapevine might have seven pounds of fruit (or more, or less), so with 2.6 pounds of fruit per bottle, one vine can produce between two and three bottles of dry wine.
BC terrior is unique – not as cool as you might think – with 16 hours of sunlight a day, that is 10% more than Napa Valley.
