Venturi-Schulze Vineyards
Venturi-Schulze Vineyards grows grapes at Cobble Hill, in the Vancouver Island appellation of British Columbia. It dates its founding to 1988.
Where it sits
Venturi-Schulze Vineyards is at Cobble Hill, and its fruit falls inside Vancouver Island, 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 Noir, Pinot Gris, Kerner, Zweigelt, Pinot Auxerrois, Madeleine Sylvaner, Siegerrebe, Schonburger 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: Initial five acres of a 15-acre property, plus a 15 acre parcel purchased in 199.
