In May 2010, a delegation of Ontario wineries took their best Chardonnays to Canada House in London and presented them to the UK fine-wine media, including the esteemed Jancis Robinson MW. The critics were seriously impressed. After the tasting, Robinson wrote:
“Ontario...can produce a vivid array of styles of Chardonnay, some of which can hold their own with the world's finest.” (www.jancisrobinson.com, May 29, 2010)
VINTAGES presents a selection of Robinson’s top-scoring wines from this tasting. Don’t miss this chance to add these wines to your collection; with this level of international recognition, they won’t be around for long. Order today!
