My Wine Canada Wine Club Feature: Okanagan Crush Pad
We are ecstatic to have Okanagan Crush Pad as our August featured winery. Located in Summerland, B.C., this winery is home to a passionate and experienced winemaking team that produces 100% BC VQA wines. Okanagan Crush Pad was founded by a group of friends with a shared admiration, and respect, for the beautiful land they are situated on. With a large portfolio of five labels that feature single-varietals, bold blends, bubblies, and skin ferments, this is a winery you must try!
Sign up for the wine club today to receive an outstanding assortment of B.C. wine conveniently delivered to your doorstep.
Okanagan Crush Pad has five different labels, each with their own portfolio: Haywire, Narrative, Free Form, Bizou + Yukon, and Garnet Valley Ranch. Each label is distinctive from the others in that its portfolio emphasizes different qualities and wine characteristics. At the heart of Okanagan Crush Pad's 375-acre wonderland are two vineyards, Switchback and Garnet Valley Ranch Vineyard. From these vineyards, winemaker Matt Dumayne and his team produce wines that reflect the unique terroir using low-intervention practices and wild yeast fermentation. Okanagan Crush Pad's organic farming principles allow nature to shape and direct the flavours of the wines; they were also the first Canadian winery to join the International Wineries for Climate Action, a testament to their dedication to lessen climate change impacts on the vineyards.
Here's a peek at some of the hidden gems that are included in our August Wine Club boxes.
