Two Meaford wines the best in Canada – Coffin Ridge brings home gold

Last week, Meaford’s Coffin Ridge Boutique Winery brought home two double-gold awards from the All Canadian Wine Championships, the oldest and largest wine competition in the country. The double-gold awards recognize the best Canadian wine in each of 49 categories.

The 2011 L’Acadie took the top spot in the single white hybrids category, and the 2010 Marquette outshone all entries in the “other single red hybrids” category.

Both wines were produced from 100 percent Grey County grapes grown at the winery in the rolling hills northwest of the town of Meaford.

L’Acadie
Dry aromatic white
$19
Coffin Ridge is the only Ontario winery growing the l’Acadie white grape, which was developed in Ontario decades ago, and is widely used in Nova Scotia.

Marquette
Full-bodied red
$22
A hybrid of European and North American grape varieties, this cold-hardy grape was chosen by Coffin Ridge soon after the vinyards were first planted, and the winery says it has found “the new standard cold climate red grape variety.”
