Trust us: Baco Noir deserves your attention. Grown right here in Ontario, it’s awesome in so many ways: as a Thanksgivi­ng wine, in cocktails, with all kinds of pairings and in cooking.

Baco Noir thrives in Ontario and is worthy of your attention—awesome as a Thanksgivi­ng wine and so much more!

Hearty, robust and almost ideally suited to our climate and soils, Baco Noir is one of the fastestgro­wing varieties among wine drinkers in the province and is quickly becoming Ontario’s signature grape.

Sometimes described as a meatier Pinot Noir, with all of Pinot’s ripe cherry and tart raspberry flavours but with even more depth, Baco Noir is renowned for its dark fruit flavours, full body, herbal notes and soft, smoky tannins. The contempora­ry style emphasizes careful management in the vineyard and the balanced use of oak in the winemaking process to create lush, round, full-flavoured wines that are exactly in keeping with the modern consumer palate.
