The reputation — the story that sells at the table

BC's most convincing cool-climate pinot noir producer; demonstrably different style from the Okanagan, closer in character to northern Willamette Valley.

Practice
Andy Johnston's steep-slope estate above the Koksilah River in the Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island. Low-cropped, hand-harvested pinot noir on glacial moraine soils produces wines of delicacy and cool-climate precision rare in BC viticulture.
