Award-winning winery wins global recognition for
the second year in a row, providing another reason to celebrate
BEAMSVILLE, ON, July 30, 2019 /CNW/ - For those looking to make
the most of their remaining summer days, look no further than
Thirty Bench Wine Makers in Beamsville,
ON. Considered one of Niagara's first boutique wineries,
Thirty Bench, celebrating its 25th anniversary, is a must-see for
everyone visiting the Niagara region. Since the winery first opened
its cellar doors in 1994, Thirty Bench has been crafting
world-renowned wines receiving critical acclaim, including the
recently awarded Gold Medal for the 2016 Small Lot Wild Cask
Riesling and 2016 Small Lot Steel Post Riesling at the 2019
Decanter World Wine Awards (DWWA).
One of the most highly awarded wineries in Canada, 2019
marks the second year in a row that the winery has received
top honours from the DWWA awards, the most prestigious wine
competition, following the 2018 Best In Show for the winery's 2015
Small Lot Cabernet Franc. This global recognition has allowed
Thirty Bench to stand out at home and internationally, making the
Canadian grown Riesling and Cabernet Franc among the best in the
country.
"This is an incredibly exciting year for us. To celebrate 25
years of making delicious wine for all to enjoy is a great
achievement," says Emma Garner,
Thirty Bench winemaker. "To add to that the global recognition that
we have created one of the best Rieslings globally, let alone in
Canada, is unbelievable. We
couldn't be more proud of the team here."
Derived from the rich and unique Niagara Escarpment, the Wild
Cask and Steel Post Small Lot Riesling wines are delicious
illustrations of the benefits of thinking small. Crafting small
batches of wines with grapes grown exclusively in their own
vineyards is a philosophy that starts in the fields and is carried
through every step of the winemaking process at Thirty Bench. This
unique approach to wine production allows for a level of knowledge
of and familiarity with each varietal.
To commemorate the anniversary, Thirty Bench Wine Makers is
hosting an event on August 23rd to
invite Canadian wine lovers to celebrate this milestone and
achievement together. Guests will be invited to sip world-class
wines while enjoying live music, entertainment and delicious
eats.
"Everyone at Thirty Bench is thrilled to toast to this success
with our guests this August," added Garner.
