13thStreet wins #1 Winery in Ontario at the 2022 National Wine Awards Canada
The National Wine Awards, Canada’s largest wine awards, are held annually in a different Canadian wine region each year.
13th Street Winery was honoured and proud to be awarded the top winery in Ontario and the #2 winery in Canada in 2022. A total of twenty wines from 13th Street Winery were awarded medals at the 2022 competition: 2 Platinum, 2 Gold, 7 Silver and 9 Bronze.
Winemaker Jean-Pierre Colas, originally from Chablis in France, has been at 13th Street since 2009. Before this, he worked at wineries around the world, including those in Chile, Argentina, New Zealand, and his homeland of France. His winemaking philosophy is quite simple. He believes that great wines come from the best grapes grown in the best vineyards. In contrast, winemaking techniques are used to supplement and capture the essence of the grapes’ provenance and character.
