Sage Hills Organic Vineyard & Winery

Our wines are only made from organic, hand picked, Okanagan grapes. Our 10 acre estate production consists of early ripening grapes which are suited to our cooler east facing vineyards. We also purchase late ripening varieties such as Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon from our friend and fellow organic grape farmer Jean located at Covert Farms- in Oliver BC. The extra sun exposure and heat available from sites further south in the Okanagan, reliably ripen fruit that would struggle if grown in our Summerland vineyards. These grapes help to round out our portfolio, giving us options in the cellar for our intended wine styles. We currently offer fresh sparkling options, alongside fruit-driven white wine, oak aged skin contact (orange) expressions, concentrated reds and even fortified wines.

Our wines are 100% vegan and are always produced in small batches. As of the 2019 vintage, all our wines are fermented using only naturally occurring yeast present on the skins of our grapes. These wines are natural, meaning they’re made without the use of any additions. If anything is ever added to our wine (such as a small amount of sulphur) we will always label this on our bottles. As sulphur is naturally occurring in all wine, we are mindful of these additions, in an effort to reduce sensitivities experienced by some consumers, and to keep our wines vibrant and alive.
