Black Hills Estate Winery

Black Hills Estate Winery grows grapes at Oliver, in the Okanagan Valley appellation of British Columbia. It dates its founding to 1996.

Where it sits

Black Hills Estate Winery is at Oliver, and its fruit falls inside Okanagan Valley, one of the recognised growing areas of British Columbia. What a geographic claim means on a label differs by province — the Canadian wineries page sets out how.

What it grows

The winery works with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Carménère and Tempranillo.

Where a grape has a page here, it covers how that variety behaves in Canadian conditions: the heat it needs to ripen, the Brix it reaches, and where it is planted.
