Jackson-Triggs
Jackson-Triggs is a Canadian winery with vineyards in the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia and the Niagara Peninsula, Ontario.
In 1989 Donald Triggs, Allan Jackson, with a group of investors, purchased Cartier wines from John Labatt Limited and later changed the company's name to Vincor.[1] In 1993, they began to produce Jackson-Triggs wine.[2] They started with only two varietals, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc.[3] Jackson-Triggs now sells many different varieties and tiers including both VQA wines and ICB (International Canadian Blends, formally known as Cellared in Canada)
Constellation Brands purchased Vincor Canada (including Jackson-Triggs) for CDN$1.52 billion in 2006[4]
In 2006 Jackson-Triggs won the Gold Medal at the International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC) for best Shiraz/Syrah; the first Canadian red wine to be recognized by the IWSC.[5] In 2010, they won their seventh "Canadian Wine Producer of the Year" trophy at the IWSC.[6]
In 2016, Constellation Brands sold its Canadian wine holdings, including Jackson-Triggs, to the Ontario Teachers Pension Fund for about $1.03 billion.[7] The company was renamed Arterra Wines Canada in 2017[8]
