Canadian wine group launches high-end wines in UK
Iconic Wineries of British Columbia, a group of six Canadian wineries owned by White Claw seltzer founder Anthony von Mandl, has launched a range of high-end Okanagan Valley wines in the UK.
According to the drinks business
The IWBC, a group that includes Mission Hill winery, has released wines from high-end producer Checkmate in the UK for the first time. Some Checkmate wines had previously been available at Selfridges after the London-based retailer unveiled a 20-strong range of Okanagan wines last year.
The new range, which comprises two Chardonnays and two Merlots, will retail for £65 per bottle or for £195 per triple bottle gift set.
Made by Australian-born winemaker Philip McGahan, the wines are produced from grapes selected from “micro-blocks” with the aim of making Burgundian-style Chardonnay and Bordeaux-inspired Merlot wines.
