Nichol Vineyard

Nichol Vineyard grows grapes at Naramata, in the Naramata Bench sub-appellation of British Columbia. It dates its founding to 1989.

Where it sits

Nichol Vineyard is at Naramata, and its fruit falls inside Naramata Bench, nested within 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, Syrah, Cabernet Franc and Pinot Noir.

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.
