Clos Du Soleil Winery

Clos Du Soleil Winery grows grapes at Keremeos, in the Similkameen Valley appellation of British Columbia. It dates its founding to 2006.

Where it sits

Clos Du Soleil Winery is at Keremeos, 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 Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Syrah, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Sémillon and Malbec.

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: four owned vineyards totaling 30 acres of vines.
