Vineyard
Nestled in the Osoyoos East Bench lies Hans Estate Vineyard, a paradise for viticulture. With an average of 1,550 growing degree days and an abundance of sunshine, this area is a veritable Eden for grape growing. The desert-like conditions created by dry days and cool nights are ideal for producing juicy, sun-ripened red grape varieties. The vineyard’s sandy soil is composed of glacial deposits and benefits from the moderating influence of Osoyoos Lake. These factors combine to produce classic and well-structured wines with pure fruit expression. The unique combination of soil type and weather conditions in the Osoyoos East Bench area contribute to the development of flavour and ageability in the grapes. Hans Estate Vineyard is a true embodiment of our vision and passion for craving single vineyard wines that showcase the diversity and harmony of this region’s terroir. By focusing on single vineyard wines, we strive to capture the unique essence of each site and allow the terroir to express itself to the fullest extent.
