Viewpointe Estate Winery 2016 The Real McCoy Cab Franc VQA
Synonymous with genuine, Elijah McCoy was an inventor born in Colchester South Township, Ontario in the mid 1800s. His innovative product for oiling steam engines was so effective train engineers were known to ask for the “Real McCoy”, to avoid being disappointed by inferior copies.
In this bottle is an outhentic wine, grown and produced in Colchester. Made with 100% Cabernet Franc grapes, this wine is worthy of the title “The Real McCoy”.
