Silkscarf Winery

Silkscarf Winery grows grapes at Summerland, in the Summerland Bench sub-appellation of British Columbia. It dates its founding to 2004.

Where it sits

Silkscarf Winery is at Summerland, and its fruit falls inside Summerland 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 Gewurztraminer, Viognier, Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Gris, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Syrah 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: over 10 acres of vines.
