AboutPeak Cellars
Dennis O’Rourke developed Peak Cellars in Lake Country, overlooking Okanagan Lake, with wines made entirely from estate-grown fruit. The wider 300-acre property includes about 110 acres of vines across the Goldie and O’Rourke vineyards.
The vineyards lie between 440 and more than 700 metres above sea level, on glacial silt, sand and gravel in the lake-moderated northern Okanagan climate. Plantings include Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Grüner Veltliner, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris. Winemaker Stephanie Stanley and head viticulturist Matt Rademakers work with hand-tended vines and small lots, using native yeasts where possible and keeping intervention to a minimum.
Peak Cellars 2022 Glacial Till Pinot Gris
Canadian White
$37.99
Honeysuckle, pear, cucumber water, candied ginger and botanical notes shape the profile. Stone fruit accompanies a lean, saline character and a juicy palate. This estate-grown Pinot Gris comes from Lake Country in the Okanagan Valley, where the vineyards follow the Scenic Sip wine route. Every vine is hand-tended, and the estate describes its farming as sustainable. The cool-climate site has a long growing season.
Peak Cellars 2022 Terraces Dry Riesling
Canadian White
$37.99
Intensely tropical fruit defines this textured, flavourful dry Riesling. It belongs to the estate’s Block Series and comes from Lake Country in the Okanagan Valley. The winery’s vineyards are entirely estate-grown and sustainably farmed, with Riesling among the aromatic white varieties suited to its cool-climate soils and long growing season. The property covers more than one hundred acres of vines.
O’Rourke’s Peak 2018 Grüner Veltliner
Canadian White
$36.99
Tropical pineapple and stone fruit lead, with white pepper giving both the nose and palate a distinctive savoury lift. Lychee and honeycomb add a gently rounded middle, while thyme, lime and fine minerality bring focus through the finish. Expressive yet well defined, this is an aromatic white with enough freshness and detail to remain poised at the table.
O’Rourke’s Peak 2017 Chardonnay
Canadian White
$35.99
Butter, fresh citrus and measured oak open the nose. The palate is smooth and rounded, with orange marmalade bringing a gently bittersweet richness through the middle. A firm oak frame gives the wine shape without overwhelming the fruit, while clean citrus freshness carries the flavours into a lingering, softly textured finish.
