Boucherie Estate Winery\u003c\/strong\u003e is located on the slopes above Okanagan Lake in West Kelowna. First started as a grape growing business in 1968, Mt. Boucherie soon became one of the largest vineyard holdings in BC, farming 200 acres of land in both the Similkameen and Okanagan Valleys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMt. Boucherie\u003c\/strong\u003e sources grapes from 5 vineyards. \u003cem\u003eMt. Boucherie Estate\u003c\/em\u003e is located in West Kelowna, on the eastern shadow of the former volcano Mount Boucherie. The grapes thrive in the sandy loam, clay and limestone soils rich with mineral deposits and volcanic rock. The summers are hot and provide long daylight hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir \u003cem\u003eThree Mountain Vineyard\u003c\/em\u003e is also in West Kelowna and is planted to 4 acres of Pinot Noir, clones 777 and 115, along with 2 acres of Pinot Gris. Sandy loam, clay and limestone soils rich with mineral deposits and volcanic rock dominate the site’s landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOkanagan Falls is a magical wine farming area and the second official sub-appellation in British Columbia. This narrow part of the valley gets a lot of heat from the bright southern Okanagan sunshine, while the cool nights here retain the acidity in the grapes helping to accentuate fruit flavours and freshness. The soil is comprised of mounds of glacially deposited rock and includes stony gravel, clay, and sandy loam. It is here that their \u003cem\u003eLost Horn Vineyard\u003c\/em\u003e is located.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMt. Boucherie\u003c\/strong\u003e also has vineyards in the Similkameen Valley, just north of the US border and west of the southern Okanagan Valley. Due to the high mountains on both sides of the valley, and the reflective action of the rock, the heat is held long after the sun sets. The vines thrive in the stony, gravelly and silty loams from glacial rock formation. This is rugged wine country that produces wines that are completely distinct from the neighbouring Okanagan Valley.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, their \u003cem\u003eSouth Rock Vineyard\u003c\/em\u003e is on the Golden Mile Bench, the first officially recognized sub-appellation in British Columbia. Its southerly latitude provides a warm climate, but its location on the west side brings morning rather than afternoon sunshine, making it cooler than its eastern neighbour. The soil is well drained with gravel, clay, sand and is littered with large rocks from the eroding mountains to the west.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMt. Boucherie\u003c\/strong\u003e makes 5 lines of wines. Their \u003cem\u003eWhite Label\u003c\/em\u003e wines are made in an approachable, refreshing style meant for early consumption, but with an ability to age short term. Primarily from our Similkameen Valley site, these wines carry the region’s hallmark characteristic of ripe fruit, balanced by spicy\/savoury notes and fresh acids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vessel Liquor Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45633068564659,"sku":"00812289008499","price":19.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/1229\/2787\/files\/326640.jpg?v=1767044278","url":"https:\/\/vesselliquor.com\/products\/mt-boucherie-cabernet-merlot-00812289008499","provider":"Vessel Liquor Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
