The family run Blue Mountain Vineyard and Cellars has been an influential force in the evolution of the British Columbia wine industry since 1971. They began as suppliers of premium quality grapes before moving to creating their own wines in 1991. Their reputation is built upon their focused production of limited quantities of finely crafted premium quality wines. Their Chardonnay always displays great integration and nuance, offering layers of refined lemon, apple and mineral in a fresh, long and crisp package. |
