Ontario
Ontario is Canada's largest wine province, with the Niagara Peninsula at its core moderated by Lake Ontario and the Niagara Escarpment. The lake effect prevents extreme cold, enabling Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Franc to ripen in the Tender Fruit Belt. Prince Edward County offers a cooler Burgundian-style terroir. Ontario's VQA system governs the appellation structure.
Finesse-driven whites and Pinot Noir; notable ice wine tradition
