CANADA. Magnotta Winery Corporation has launched G. Marquis, a new collection of high-end table wines and ultra premium Icewines, for duty free stores in North America.
Already well received across Canada including duty free stores in Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia, the G. Marquis collection has begun earning awards at prestigious international competitions. They include the Gold Best of Class award at this year’s Pacific Rim International Wine Competition for its 2009 G. Marquis Riesling Icewine VQA and the Gold award at Tasters Guild International Wine Judging for its 2009 G. Marquis Vidal Icewine VQA.
“We’ve put the best wines and the best packaging into G. Marquis so we are thrilled that early buyers and taste testers have become instantly attracted to it,” said Magnotta Winery Corporation President and CEO Rossana Magnotta.
“The high quality of the wines, attractive value and unique brand image that combines traditional design with contemporary elegance will resonate with wine consumers and give G. Marquis long-term brand appeal,” she added.
Magnotta noted that the G. Marquis brand has been interesting for buyers who want to know the identity of G.Marquis and the meaning behind the storyline on the label.
“G. Marquis represents the uninhibited voice hidden deep inside all of us and we hope wine consumers will identify with the brand’s independent, adventurous and authentic personality,” she enthused.
