The lake that spans the valley helps to temper the summer heat, alongside the Cascade and Coast Mountains which create a rain shadow effect, resulting in the perfect growing conditions for grapes. The Okanagan is known for its wineries and fruit orchards and is surrounded by pine forests and provincial parks.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tIncludes 125 g of Genuwine Dried Grape Skins. Genuwine grape skins are crushed, whole grape skins, gently dried in a proprietary process that preserves their original color and fresh vineyard flavor. Fermentation on Genuwine dried grape skins enhances the color, flavor profile and bouquet of wine. Genuwine grape skins are easy to work with and consistently provide excellent results.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tEnjoy with red wine braised beef with pomme purée, bison burgers with blue cheese, garlic lamb chops with chickpea purée, or triple cream cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003eMeritage Style, Okanagan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tSweetness: Dry\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tOak: Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tBody: Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tABV: 14.6%\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tKit Volume: 8L\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tApproximate Yield: 23L\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tReady to bottle in 5 Weeks\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tGrape skins included\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n","brand":"RJS Craft Winemaking","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51917969654049,"sku":"WK8002","price":108.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/7521\/2321\/files\/62205.png?v=1760501582","url":"https:\/\/morebeer.mom\/products\/british-columbia-meritage-wine-making-kit-cru-international-gold-medal-top-100-kits","provider":"MoreBeer!","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
