Road 13 Vineyard didn’t just crush grapes this year, the Oliver winery crushed the competition at the annual National Wine Awards of Canada.
This year more than 1,850 wines from 257 Canadian wineries were entered in the competition, which was judged by 22 wine experts in Penticton, BC, for a five-day blind tasting.
When the blindfolds came off, Road 13 walked away with 15 medals, including 1 platinum, 8 gold, 2 silver, and 4 bronze wowing judges over multiple flights in a blind tasting environment, and the coveted title of Canadian Winery of the Year.
“We are so delighted with this win,” said co-owner Joe Luckhurst. “Our team’s tireless dedication to excellence has really paid off, as has following our passion for Rhone-style wines. A platinum medal for the 2016 Roussanne is proof of our understanding of the best way to express our terroir in the glass.”
