If you're starting out with Canadian wine, this is the place to start.

Canadian wine is not widely known in Japan because 80% of it is consumed domestically and is hardly distributed outside of the country. Which one is the best? If you are wondering which wine is best, or if you are new to Canadian wine, we will introduce some recommended wines. Please use this as a reference.

Ontario, Canada, is blessed with a great environment for growing grapes, so much so that many winemakers have migrated there from Europe. The limestone-rich soil and abundant water from Lake Ontario bring about a mineral taste, and Canadian wines are characterized by their elegant acidity and minerality in white wines and mild tannins and fruity flavors in red wines.

Canada has an image of being cold, but it is actually a cool region where the temperature rises to nearly 40 degrees in the summer, the hours of sunshine are long, and the temperature drops to around 17 degrees at night. The difference in temperature between day and night allows the grapes to ripen well and the sugar content to increase, producing wines with a good aroma and full of fruitiness that go well with elegant Japanese food made with soy sauce, mirin, sugar, sake, and dashi.

Canada currently has the most suitable terroir for producing ice wine, and produces a stable, high-quality icewine every year. Icewine is extremely valuable because production is small under harsh working conditions. The wine made by carefully fermenting this precious juice has an exquisite balance of acidity and sweetness, resulting in a luxurious taste that is like putting fully ripe grapes in your mouth.

If you are new to dessert wine or like sweet wines, we recommend Late Harvest Wine. It has a moderate sweetness compared to ice wine, making it ideal for enjoying with meals. The bottle design is also cute, so it makes a great gift. You can also have fun comparing red and white wines to find your favorite taste.

This icewine was created from the winery's strong desire to have Japanese people drink ice wine. It has a fruity and juicy taste, like biting into a fully ripe fruit. It has a good balance of fruity sweetness and acidity, and is popular for its smooth mouthfeel. This is our most popular icewine.

A refreshing, slightly dry sparkling wine that is easy to drink. It can be enjoyed in a variety of situations, from toasting to drinking during meals. The elegant and pleasant flavor of lemon and lime gives it a refreshing taste. It is also recommended to mix it with icewine to create an original cocktail.
