ROAD 13 VINEYARDS was awarded for its 2011 Jackpot Viognier Rousanne Marsanne. This wine is made from grapes grown at three different sites in the Similkameen and the Okanagan Valleys, and are the last white grapes to get picked. the bunches usually look ugly when they are ready... All grapes looked terrible and tasted fantastic on picking day!
Road 13 Vineyards is a family owned and operated winery located between Osoyoos and Oliver, at Highway 97 and Road 13 on the Okanagan Valley’s historic “Golden Mile.”
