Nestled in a narrow valley surrounded by steep mountains and Lake Ososyoos at the bottom, Veranda Beach Vineyard benefits from a unique microclimate, with a greater than normal lake effect which moderates temperatures. The Barbera vineyards parallel the shore in a north to south direction and facing southwest.  The soil is sandy loam with extremely good drainage. Managed to produce limited yields and developing deep color, low tannins and classic Barbera high acidity.
