The National Wine Awards of Canada is a valuable pulse on the industry or respective industries across Canada.
It provides an overall impression of where we've been and where we're going. If you let the wines guide you and taste what's in the glass, you move beyond preconceived notions or biases. The 2024 National Wine Awards of Canada's full results are now released at WineAlign. The results speak to the pedigree and skill of the entire ensemble of judges. Of course, we all have our personal favourites along the way. For me, it's also about discovering new wineries–or wineries that I've overlooked. And wines that I'll add to my cellar. With that in mind, here are my top 10 scoring wines from the competition (all tasted blind):
