Bottega Wine Studio

Bottega Wine Studio grows grapes at Cawston, in the Similkameen Valley appellation of British Columbia.

Where it sits

Bottega Wine Studio is at Cawston, and its fruit falls inside Similkameen 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 Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc and Grenache.

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.

Vineyard area: 3.5-acre Solum Rosa vineyard.
