Awards
Since opening in 2003, Black Prince Winery has garnered many awards over the years, all of which we are very proud of.
All of these accolades could not have been achieved without the hard work and dedication of the staff, volunteers and the many vineyard partners that have lent a hand over the years.
Thank you

Ratings
88/100 NV Vidal First Crush
David Lawrason rated this wine in his June/July 07 e-Report
A silver medalist at Artevino and double gold winner at the All Canada Wine Championships. Prehaps the best Vidal Table Wine I have tasted to date, with terrific poise, minerality and balance. A touch of youthful sulphur should dissipate. Lovely pristine feel and apple fruit on the finish. Very good length.
87/100 2004 Chardonnay First Crush
David Lawrason rated this wine in the October 2005 Wine Access Magazine
These were his comments “made 90 percent from Prince Edward County fruit, this is the best Black Prince wine to date, a pristine, light to mid-weight Chablis style unoaked chardonnay with fresh Macintosh apple, lemon and mineral flavours. Crisp with a hint of rounding sweetness on the finish. Good length, even-handed, and a joy to sip.”
89/100 2005 Bella Vigne Geisenheim
Sean Wood rated this wine in the October 2006 Tidings magazine
Bella Vigne’s locally grown grapes are vinted at the nearby Black Prince Winery. This Germanic variety, developed at Geisenheim, shows beautifully aromatic spicy perfume and luscious rounded green fruit flavours. Floral character is somewhere between Muscat and Gewurztraminer.
