The Canadian Crop

The Niagara Peninsula’s perfect convergence of good growing conditions for grapes and consistent freezing make it the world”s most productive ice wine region. Inniskillin Winery Niagara-on-the-Lake was pioneer in Canadian ice wine, winning the 1991 Grand Prix d’Honneur at the prestigious Vinexpo held annually in Bordeaux, France. Since then, other Canadian regions have been challenging Ontario for its premier position, most notably British Columbia and Nova Scotia.
