The Wine Capital of Canada, Oliver, BC is home to a premiere terroir known as the Black Sage Bench. It is here in the sun-soaked desert climate of the south Okanagan that you find out 24 acre vineyard and family owned estate winery.
The Desert Hills estate was purchased by our family in 1988 and the planting of Vitis Vineifera was introduced in 1995. Today the vineyard is in full production with planting of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Gamay, Malbec, Merlot and Pinot Gris.
Our family has hand selected this gentle east to west sloping property for is natural attributes to potentially deliver some of Canada’s finest grapes.
The Black Sage Bench has become notorious for its long hot summer days that concentrate the flavors in the grapes, and its gentle cool evenings that round the complexity of each variety.
The moderating effect of the Okanagan River on the lower western edge of the vineyard is also a natural deterrent against October frost.
It is not just a coincidence that you will find us located between Black Hills & Burrowing Owl Estate wineries on the Black Sage Bench.
