Michael Clark is the Winemaker, GM and co-owner of Clos du Soleil. Originally trained in Theoretical Physics. Michael became an investment manager in Canada, USA and Europe. It was during those years in Europe that Michael decided to turn his life-long obsession with wine into his day-job.
Not just learning winemaking but learning winemaking in Bordeaux. It became invaluable tutelage as Clos du Soleil is as close to a French winery as we have in the Similkameen Valley. All their vineyards are planted with Bordeaux grape varieties.
