27 Mar Okanagan’s Award Winning Wines
The National Wine Awards of Canada are only open to wines grown and produced in Canada. The goal of “The Nationals” is to expose Canadian wine drinkers to the best in Canadian wines. There is no restriction on price, leaving each winery the opportunity to compete with and against the best wines in the country. More importantly, as barriers to ship wines across the country come down, the combination of winning recognition at The Nationals and WineAlign’s ability to display the results alongside your key retail outlets, from the winery direct to across the country, makes it the only competition with enduring post competition sales opportunities.
Over 1,500 wines were entered from 230 wineries, a testament to the growing number of wineries in the country, and faith in these awards as being a way to showcase and benchmark new wines.
Here are some winners from the Okanagan:
