Tinhorn Creek Cabernet Franc VQA is crafted from 100% Cabernet Franc grapes grown in the sun-soaked vineyards of the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia. The terroir, characterized by its hot, dry summers and stony, well-drained soils, imparts a unique depth and character to the wine. After hand-harvesting, the wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the vibrant fruit qualities, followed by aging in French oak barrels which imparts subtle spice and enhances complexity. This wine has received praise for its masterful balance and the winery’s dedication to sustainable viticulture. Tinhorn Creek, established in 1993, is highly regarded for its innovative approaches and commitment to quality.
