Winemaker’s CUT

Winemaker’s CUT grows grapes at Oliver, in the Okanagan Valley appellation of British Columbia. It dates its founding to 2005.

Where it sits

Winemaker’s CUT is at Oliver, 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 Riesling, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Petit Verdot and Tempranillo.

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.

Also in British Columbia: Zanatta Estate Winery, 8th Generation Vineyard. The full list is on the British Columbia page.
