Skimmerhorn Winery & Vineyard
Skimmerhorn Winery & Vineyard grows grapes at Creston, in the Kootenays appellation of British Columbia. It dates its founding to 2003.
Where it sits
Skimmerhorn Winery & Vineyard is at Creston, and its fruit falls inside Kootenays, 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, Marechal Foch, Pinot Noir, Gewurztraminer and Ortega.
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 17 acres planted of a 20 acre property.
