Gray Monk Estate Winery

Gray Monk Estate Winery grows grapes at Lake Country, in the Okanagan Valley appellation of British Columbia. It dates its founding to 1972.

Where it sits

Gray Monk Estate Winery is at Lake Country, 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 Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Merlot, Gewürztraminer, Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Kerner, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Ehrenfelser and Pinot Auxerrois.

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.
