Local wines tops in world

Two Okanagan Wineries topped the list of gold medal winners at an international Chardonnay competition in France.

Earlier this month, the 2018 Chardonnay du Monde competition awarded Liquidity Wines the top spot on its Top 10 gold medal list, for the winery’s not-yet-released 2016 Chardonnay Reserve.

Coming in just behind the Okanagan Falls winery was West Kelowna’s Kalala Organic Estate Winery, whose 2016 Chardonnay Icewine won second place.

The pair of Okanagan wineries topped a field consisting of 679 wine samples, from 39 countries, scored by a panel of 300 international expert judges.

For the wineries' reactions to their wins, as well as what one of their owners says is the key to making great icewine, check out the full story on Castanet's sister business news website, Okanagan Edge.
