Nk'Mip Cellars (Inkameep)
Nk'Mip Cellars produces wines from the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia's premier wine region. The winery's Chardonnay and Qwam Qwmt Chardonnay—both rated 90 points by prestige critics Wine Enthusiast and Decanter—demonstrate the region's capacity for elegant white wines with structure and complexity. A Rosé blended from Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Shiraz/Syrah rounds out the portfolio, rated 89 points. The Okanagan Valley's continental climate and diverse terroir support both cool-climate precision in whites and the ripeness needed for structured reds and rosés. Nk'Mip Cellars' focus on Chardonnay reflects the region's strength in this varietal, where moderate temperatures and extended growing seasons yield wines of balance and depth.
