Jackson Triggs wine maker Derek KontkanenBy Glen KorstromThu Aug 29, 2013 4:45am PSTThe Okanagan’s hot and dry summer has enabled Jackson Triggs winery to launch B.C.’s earliest-ever harvest of grapes intended for table wine on August 27.Wine makers have launched harvests of grapes intended for sparkling wine earlier than that,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler sale[/url], B.C. Wine Institute spokesperson Lindsay Kelm told Business in Vancouver.Indeed,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler outlet[/url], both Sperling Vineyards and Summerhill Pyramid Winery were picking grapes for sparkling wine last week,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler on sale[/url], she said.“But I went through reports of past vintages and I can’t find anything that shows an earlier harvest for vinifera grapes for table wine,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler down jackets[/url],” Kelm added.Jackson Triggs wine maker Derek Kontkanen told Business in Vancouver that his vineyard team started picking sauvignon blanc grapes from its Bear Cub Vineyard on the Osoyoos Lake Bench.“It’s a warmer site and the sugar-ripeness and the flavour profile were right what we were looking for so we decided to go ahead and harvest,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler down jackets[/url],[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler on sale[/url],” he said.Jackson Triggs is owned by the world’s largest wine producer,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler outlet[/url], Constellation Brands Inc. (STZ:NYSE), and it sources about 1,000 acres of grapes in B.C.About half of those acres produce grapes for white wines, said Kontkanen,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler sale[/url], who is in charge of all of Jackson Triggs’ white, sparkling, rose and ice wines.“We have about 180 acres of sauvignon blanc grapes and about half of that I will have picked by the end of next week,” he said August 28.In previous years, he launched Jackson Triggs’ B.C. sauvignon blanc harvest between September 6 and 14, said Kontkanen, who is conducting his 10th harvest for the company.He normally then harvests:Chardonnay in the second,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]discount moncler jackets[/url], third and fourth weeks of September;Viognier at the end of September and into October;Gewurztraminer and Semillon in early October; andRiesling at the end of October.Ice wine grape picking tends to start in November.gkorstrom@biv.com@GlenKorstromTags: agriculture,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]discount moncler jackets[/url], Constellation Brands Inc.
