Over the years Stag’s Hollow vineyard has consistently produced grapes with excellent ripening and fruit profiles. The area’s micro-climate and ideal soils, have provided superb conditions for Stag’s Hollow’s grapes. The soils in the vineyard are a result of glacial deposits comprised primarily of gravel with bands of clay and sand. This soil profile gives us control over vigour, as the vines have to work hard for nutrients and water. Temperatures in Okanagan Falls tend to be hotter than in Penticton but more moderate than the extreme temperatures in Oliver and south. As a result, this special micro-climate provides more constant ripening conditions for the grapes throughout the whole summer. This can often result in harvest dates on par with or earlier than the Black Sage making the Okanagan Falls area one of the prime viticultural areas in the whole Okanagan.
