Our Philosophy
Embracing the Okanagan Terroir
Stoneboat Vineyards takes great pride in its ability to showcase the unique qualities of the Okanagan Valley through its exceptional wine offerings. By meticulously tending to the vineyards and employing time-honored techniques, the winery ensures that each bottle reflects the true essence of the land, offering wine enthusiasts a captivating and authentic taste of the region.
We are always aware that we are dealing with living things that are sensitive to their environments; it is essential that plants be observed closely, left to their own growth in many respects, and helped along when necessary.
Grape growing requires an intimate understanding of our vines and soils, and how both will respond to variables like climate, crop load, and sunlight- to name a few. Instruments help us by describing the environment and vine condition, but we believe there is no substitute for the discerning eye of an experienced grower.
We recognize that every element within the vineyard environment - be it soil, moisture, microbe, or temperature - is vital to the living process from which our wines originate. Balancing these elements provides a character that is uniquely expressed in our wines. It cannot be duplicated anywhere else.
Careful stewardship of our land ensures that we maintain a balanced, healthy environment for the vines that results in balance and complexity in our wines.
