Domaine viticole River Stone Estate

Le domaine viticole River Stone, situé à Oliver, en Colombie-Britannique, est entouré de leur vignoble cultivé à la main. Lorsqu'ils se sont installés dans la vallée de l'Okanagan, ils ont choisi ce site pour ses excellentes qualités viticoles et ont planté le vignoble en vue d'un assemblage de style bordelais, qu'ils ont baptisé Corner Stone.

Comme le suggèrent le nom de leur domaine, River Stone, et celui de leur vignoble, River Rock Vineyards, leurs vins proviennent des sols rocheux et graveleux profonds formés après le dernier recul glaciaire. Ils cultivent cinq cépages rouges bordelais : merlot, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, malbec et petit verdot, ainsi que plusieurs cépages blancs : sauvignon blanc, pinot gris et gewurztraminer.

Les longues journées ensoleillées d'été suivies des journées chaudes et des nuits fraîches de l'automne ont toujours produit des fruits de première qualité.

The story behind River Stone Estate

River Stone is about as personal as a winery gets. Ted Kane and his wife Lorraine bought a patch of raw land north of Oliver in 2001, planted it themselves in 2002, and opened the tasting room in 2011.

Ted taught himself winemaking along the way, chasing a plan he had carried for years. Everything still comes off that one home vineyard.

One vineyard, Bordeaux reds

The estate grows all five red Bordeaux grapes on site: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot. They come together in the flagship Corner Stone, a serious Okanagan red blend.

Whites like Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris round out the range, but reds are the point here. Corner Stone took gold at the 2023 National Wine Awards of Canada.
