Castoro de Oro Estate Winery

Castoro de Oro Estate Winery grows grapes at Oliver, in the Okanagan Valley appellation of British Columbia. It dates its founding to 2006.

Where it sits

Castoro de Oro 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 Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Pinot Blanc, Gewürztraminer, Viognier and Syrah.

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.

Visiting
