Cherry Point Estate Wines

Cherry Point Estate Wines grows grapes at Cobble Hill, in the Cowichan Valley sub-appellation of British Columbia. It dates its founding to 1990.

Where it sits

Cherry Point Estate Wines is at Cobble Hill, and its fruit falls inside Cowichan Valley, nested within Vancouver Island, 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 Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir, Zweigelt, Ortega, Siegerrebe, Epicure, Cabernet Libre, Agria and Castel.

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: 35 acre property, 22 of which are planted.
