Baillie-Grohman
The winery is named after one of this region's most legendary pioneers, William Baillie-Grohman, as his pioneering, tenacious spirit is one admired by all. They are on the edge of an emerging wine-growing area, in a unique microclimate in the Kootenay district of British Columbia, in a community called Creston. It is exciting to explore this region, like Baillie-Grohman did, but in their case, they are uncovering characteristics that yield wines with new fingerprints not seen before in the world of wine.
The approach is to produce small lots of super premium wine in their 5,000 case boutique winery. Everything is done by hand, from the farming to picking and sorting at harvest. Grape production is maintained at a low yield, with the aspiration of quality and concentrated flavours.
