Canada makes wine, and this is what it grows.
Vidal leads the plantings, with Riesling and Cabernet Franc alongside it.
The climate is continental.
The vineyards themselves read as lakeside.
Ice wine, red wine and white wine, plus one more is what the region is known for, and in the glass it shows lusciously sweet, rich and complex, bordeaux blends and crisp and aromatic, plus one more.
Quality is codified by the VQA, which is worth reading off the label.
The named areas within are Niagara Peninsula, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec.
Pour them alongside spicy foods, blue cheese, desserts and charcuterie.
