Hopetown Craft Red Scores 93 Points!
Our 2019 Hopetown Craft Red VQA recently received a score of 93 from the Toronto Star. Wine writer, Carolyn Evans Hammond calls the wine “shockingly good value” and a “brilliant buy.” Your mouth will water at the description of “heady aromas of cherries swirled in melted chocolate. Then, it sweeps in with a silky, fruit-laden entry that’s dry, well-balanced and medium-bodied.
Available at our wine boutiques, online, and at the LCBO for only $13.95.
LILY SPARKLING – 92 Points from The Toronto Star
“Colio also makes a delicious sparkling wine at a great price. NV Lily Sparkling, VQA Ontario, is pure Riesling and erupts on the palate with a taut attack that tastes polished and pure, while whispering aromas and flavours suggest fresh apricot and white peach as well as lime, orange zest and chalk — all understated and delicate. And a kiss of sweetness lends balance to the tart seam of acidity. Lovely. Score: 92” ~ Carolyn Evans Hammond, Toronto Star, December 12, 2020.
NEW PACKAGING FOR LILY ROSE SPARKLING
Our limited edition wraparound sleeve was such a hit last year we decided to make it permanent (along with a few more tweaks)!
Hopetown Craft Red VQA NOW AVAILABLE at LCBO
Harrow, Ontario – where our winery is located – was once known as Hopetown, a settlement surveyed in 1824. This hand-crafted red blend is medium-bodied and fruity, with ripe berry and dark plum aromas and a smooth, silky finish.
