We're so excited to announce that we have received three gold awards in the 2022 International Canned Wine Competition for our Sparkling Rosé, Muscat + Mint Spritzer, and Piquette + Peach Spritzer. Congratulations to our intrepid and crafty winemaking team lead by Head Winemaker, Gina Haverstock, and to the other winning wineries from across the globe.

We have also received the Packaging Design Award for Canada alongside wineries from California, Italy, The Netherlands, Germany, New York and Australia!

Thank you to Allan Green, Competition Director and this year’s panel of judges Robert Williams Jr., PhD., Dan Berger, Brielle Buckler Jonathan Cristaldi, Dennis Doorakkers, Brooke Martin, Ali Nemo, Laura Ness, and Greg Richtarek. Like you, we believe canned wine done well is certainly something to celebrate!

We couldn’t be more proud of our winemaking team lead by Gina Haverstock for receiving the first ever Lieutenant Governor’s Award for Excellence in Nova Scotia Wine bestowed upon a canned wine

The award, established by former Lieutenant Governor Brigadier-General The Honourable J.J. Grant in 2014, was given to our Sparkling Rosé. It recognizes the exceptional quality of locally sourced and produced wines, and honours the dedication and craft of those in Nova Scotia’s wine industry.

“Every year, the winemakers in this province create outstanding wines that successfully compete on a national and international level,” said His Honour The Honourable Arthur J. LeBlanc, Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia.

We are proud to receive such prestigious accolades and we would like to congratulate our fellow award winners!
