“Our agriculture value-added industry is rooted in the land, and the Grape Growers of Ontario look forward to continuing to work with the Government of Ontario to support Ontario’s grape and wine industry.”
Paul Speck, president of Henry Pellam, said “we have a wine industry in Ontario because we have the climate and specialty lands to grow grapes. Our 2020 Chardonnay showcases that cool-climate character with bright and aromatic flavours ranging from vibrant apple to citrusy grapefruit and a nice hint of oak.”
