JoieFarm Winery Crossflow Filtering
Crossflow filtration is also a gentler process than a lot of other methods of filtration—something that is very important to us—and also has the added benefit of lessening the effects of 'bottle shock'.

The Hatch Winery - West Kelowna
There’s little doubt winemaker Jason Parkes marches to the beat of his own drum but then so does the off-beat, tattooed, back-of-the-house Hatch team who don’t look anything like your typical assistant winemakers. From the day it opened, the west Kelowna winery has been the different one as they pursue a philosophy of diversity, authenticity and individuality that takes them up and down the Okanagan Valley in search of derelict vineyards and high quality fruit. At Hatch headquarters, we catch up with crew to talk about the obvious progress this idiosyncratic, hipster winery is making in an ultra-conservative business and find out what everyone is Yelp-ing about.

Option of an under 4 minute version at
Ever wondered how wine is made? This video is an adventure, a comic romp through the various stages of wine production from initial netting to pruning of the vines many months later.
Storyboard Productions filmed the process over a year highlighting the behind-the-scenes antics of three main characters, owner John Galvina, Rob Ludwig and actor, writer Roark Critchlow as they navigate the choppy seas of wine making.
The Location
Giant Head Estate Winery is a stunning winery in Summerland, BC overlooking the Kettle Valley Railway and Okanagan Lake. This year marks the first year for production on Jinny Lee’s Canyonview Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, grapes from five miles up the road.

Transcript for the hearing impaired:
What is distinctive about Okanagan wine? What is the character that contributes...
We used to have a terrible inferiority complex about being so far north. California is the land of milk and honey and it is south and they have palm trees and we don’t… but now we realise actually, with or without climate change (and of course it is very much with climate change) that there is something special about growing here, from the point of view of the grapes. Plants crave light, and the farther north you go the longer the days are. So, something that is unique about this place is that we have very, very long hours of daylight, three and a half hours more than in California in the peak of the growing season. That is very, very interesting. So, what we get is we get wines with very precise, very clear flavours, but wines that are very light, and fresh and juicy. Our wines our built on fresh, natural acid, and really that is the envy of a lot of regions in the world. It is easy to get sugars and alcohol, but we get this natural juicy freshness which we think is kind of special.
Excellent. And it is 6.30pm, when you talked about light, it is 6.30pm now and we still have a couple hours of light left here!
Oh, for sure.
This vineyard that we are in is a very special one for the project. Because this is not only the highest altitude vineyard in Canada, and possibly North America, but it is also pushing Okanagan Valley to further extremes... Can you explain a bit about the limits that we have here?
Well, first of all. We're... In the Okanagan we are far north to begin with, we are 50 degrees north in latitude. The pioneers here always said that grape growing is absolutely impossible where the vines couldn't see the lake, and here there is no bloody lake! So the immediate assumption is that everything will freeze solid in the winter. But, not quite! And that's a really interesting thing. Even as we are standing here you can feel this slight breeze. And all day, every day, there's air moving here. And that happens very importantly in the winter. When warm air from the lake comes up over the mountain here and then washes down over the vineyard, and so far nothing has frozen. And that's this very subtle, very delicate thing of this, it is the movement of air from one end of the valley to the other. And its, what Alan York always used to say: Wine is about shit you can't see!
