Ontario

**Ontario** ... — Canada's largest wine province, with vineyards concentrated near the Great Lakes, most famously on the Niagara Peninsula. **Wines & grapes** — A cool-climate mix of Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc, plus sparkling wine. Ontario is especially renowned for icewine, often from Vidal and Riesling. **Character** — The moderating effect of the lakes tempers a cold continental climate, allowing grapes to ripen while retaining bright acidity. Reliably freezing winters make Ontario one of the world's most consistent producers of intensely sweet, concentrated icewine. **Good to know** — Genuine icewine is made from grapes left to freeze on the vine and pressed while frozen, and Ontario's cold winters give it a global reputation for the style.
