Gehringer Brothers Estate Winery
This week's Northwest Winecast features a visit with Walter Gehringer at Gehringer Brothers Estate Winery in Oliver, British Columbia.
We caught up with Walter on Thursday, Oct. 7 at their vineyard along B.C.'s famed Golden Mile.
Walter, and his brother, Gordon, have followed up on research and work done in the 1970s by their father, Helmut, and his brother, Karl. They craft up to 22 wines each year, primarily with fruit from their estate vineyards, which were first planted in 1981. They began producing wines from their Dry Rock Vineyard in 1997.
Each year, Gehringer Brothers ranks among the premier wineries in the Northwest. They have earned 14 Platinums from Wine Press Northwest during the 10-year history of our Best of the Best competition. Only one other winery has won more.

ROAD 13 VINEYARDS - MR. OAKY

Golden Mile Bench Terroir
Recorded October 29, 2011 - Perhaps I've been watching Top Gear too much but at this time of year, this was the best way to show you what's happening in the vineyards. This time of year really shows which vineyards are planted in the best areas. In just a short drive down from Hester Creek, you'll see a huge change in the life of the vines from one location to another. The Golden Mile Bench wineries (Fairview, Tinhorn, Gehringer, Hester, Antelope Ridge, and Road13) all share this similar terroir. These vineyards have warmer temperatures and the cold air drains down to the valley below where the cold air shortens the season.
