VQA Ontario icewine

Ontario wineries are known producing the best quality icewine in the region. The Ontario's wine industry is nearly two hundred years old; with excellent quality standards it has made a foothold in the international market. Ontario wineries have been largely benefited from the excellent climate of the place that is perfectly suitable for growing icewine grapes. The diversity of glacial soils has an added advantage on the quality of the grapes. The moderate effect of the Great Lakes helps to produce excellent fruit for making high quality icewine.

VQA Ontario icewine means 100% quality wine from the vineyards of Ontario. VQA denotes the quality label for purity and authenticity of the wine. It is the tag of originality that reflects the ecology and inherent qualities of the wine. The icewine made in Ontario wineries is made from 100% Ontario grown grapes that are exclusively grown in Ontario.
