Garry Oaks Winery

Garry Oaks Winery is located on a terraced ten-acre vineyard carved out of the south-facing gravel slopes overlooking the Burgoyne Valley on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, Canada.www.garryoakswine.com/about/index.php

Garry Oaks Wines

Pinot Gris: Round, rich, dry white wine made from Alsatian clone estate-grown Pinot Gris grapes fermented in barrel and lees-aged in traditional Burgundian style.

Blanc de Noir:

Vivacious, dry Provence style rose wine made from Pinot Noir and Zweigelt grapes grown in our vineyard. A great summer sipper with flavours of crushed strawberries and spice and an intriguing umami accent.

Pinot Noir

,

Elegant, silky riff on a classic red Burgundy made from specially chosen clones of estate-grown Pinot Noir.

Prism, Bright, aromatic white wine made from a blend of Gewerztraminer and Chardonnay. The nose hints at flowers and pineapple and the palate sings with fresh peach, lime and ginger.

Zeta, Lush, fruit-forward red made from estate-grown Zweigelt grapes. We are one of the few wineries in British Columbia (and the first on the Coast) to grow this exciting Austrian varietal. Black cherry, floral and spice flavours are complemented by vanillan notes.

Fetish, Classic blend of Merlot (60%) and Cabernet Franc (40%). This is our only non-estate wine--the grapes are grown for us on the Black Sage Bench in the south Okanagan. Why name a wine Fetish? Because Bordeaux style wines enjoy a kind of cult-like status in the wine world and we're calling it like it is. And then there are all the other interesting connotations.... Look for a smoky nose that opens to flavours of plum, black currant, ripe olive, dark chocolate and smoky oak supported by medium tannins.

There is a little something for everyone on Salt Spring Island. Wine connoisseurs can check out the many Salt Spring Vineyards, adventurers can go hiking or mountain biking in one of the many provincial Parks on Salt Spring Island or can enjoy the  water from the seat of a kayak.
