Cluster of small\u002Dproduction wineries near Oliver in its second successful year
Winery clusters are common in American wine regions. They had never been done in Canada until the team assembled by Greyback Construction general manager Matt Kenyon convinced the regulators to license small wineries so they could make wine, run tasting rooms and sell the wines from a common site. The District is now in its second highly successful year.Start your day with a roundup of B.C.-focused news and opinion delivered straight to your inbox at 7 a.m., Monday to Friday.
“The whole concept is about small production,” says Michael Daley, the operations director of the village. “You don’t have to spend millions to start a winery.” It enabled the owners of JoiRyde Winery, former Penticton gym instructors Daphne Scromeda and Stacy Allen, to develop a winery when their previous jobs disappeared during the pandemic.
Daley and his wife, Josie Tyabji, operate Gneiss Wines. Their winemaker is Bertus Albertyn, the former chief winemaker at Burrowing Owl and former owner of Maverick Winery. He also makes wine for Canter Cellars, which is owned by Kenyon. Other veteran winemakers crafting top-flight wine in the village include Gustav Allander, formerly at Foxtrot Winery, and consultant Pascal Madevon, the founding winemaker at Osoyoos Larose Winery.
The winery boutiques here are a mix of established producers, such as TIME Family of Wines, Nk’Mip Cellars and One Faith Vineyards, and start-ups like Gneiss, Canter Cellars and Uppercase Winery. The village also has a restaurant for visitors.This wine is packed with fruit: aromas and flavours of apricot and pineapple set in a rich, creamy texture. 92/100 | This is a blend of Auxerrois, Pinot Blanc and Riesling.
