The Vineyard
"We don't just grow grapes; we listen to the tension between the limestone cliffs and the lake breezes."
The Grimsby Bench
Our vines are rooted in the ancient limestone of the Niagara Escarpment. This unique benchland sits at an elevation that catches the constant breeze from Lake Ontario, providing a natural cooling effect that preserves the delicate acidity in our grapes.
The Lake Influence
The proximity to the water creates a 'thermal blanket.' In the spring, the lake delays bud burst until the risk of frost has passed. In the autumn, it holds the summer heat, allowing our fruit to ripen slowly and develop complex, concentrated flavors.
Viticulture
We believe great wine is made in the vineyard, not the lab. By practicing sustainable viticulture and hand-harvesting every cluster, we ensure that the bottle you open is a pure reflection of this specific piece of earth.
