Rio Vista Ranch. State of the art Equestrian facility or Potential Okanogan Winery location in Red Wine Country. Wineries from other regions use grapes from this area to produce award-winning, sun-ripened red wines. Property was originally used for raising Arabian horses . The property lies in the same valley between two distinct AVA'S in Canada and Chelan County, Complete irrigation system installed. The ranch is level in terrain with 1 full and 1 half pivot and wheel lines for the remainder of the irrigated ground. The climate and elevation make the property a perfect vineyard property if not being used for equestrian or other agricultural purposes. For those who like to talk dirt.... The Okanagan Valley was once a huge glacier. The soils are mostly sandy with white clay-silt on top of gravelly glacial sands with limestone, granite and other gravels of ancient volcanic origin. What does that actually mean? Well, if you were to sum them up, wines produced on these soils generally have high aromatic intensity, minerality, and more subtle tannins. The region's location just under the 50th parallel means it has a short growing season. Grapes rapidly develop sweetness during the day but it's cold at night. This is a classic example of diurnal shift and is one of the reasons why Okanagan wines have mouth-zapping acidity. Of course, ripeness levels can still get out of hand; we noticed volatile acidity in some winery programs. As far as winemaking and viticulture goes, the Okanagan is still being figured out. Fortunately, Canada has a history of welcoming winemakers from all over, including places like New Zealand, South Africa, Australia, and France. The outside talent brings perspective and wine quality improves with each vintage. For those moving towards organic and biodynamic wines, this area has good potential. The high winds, lack of phylloxera, and extreme seasons deter a lot of pests. One clever technique commonly employed in Okanagan wine country is picking grapes at multiple points throughout harvest. Then, they're blended together to create a single, more balanced wine. Wines made with this method display both ripe flavors and high natural acidity. This is top of the line Equestrian center with everything in almost new condition . Don't miss one of the largest steel framed free span riding arenas in the area.
