The Vineyards

Ever aware of the Burgundian vineyards we are trying to emulate, all of our vineyards were selected based on soil type, topography and sun exposure. These subtle differences are partly responsible for creating fruit that results in wine with superior style and quality. For this reason, we have four distinct satellite vineyards, each with their own unique personalities and characteristics.

The terroir is Brighton gravelly sand and 8′ by 3′ spacing. Fronting on Lake Ontario (a Big Lake), the vines benefit from the cool breeze coming off the lake. Planted in 2007.

“Drink wine, and you will sleep well. Sleep, and you will not sin.
Avoid sin, and you will be saved. Ergo, drink wine and be saved.”
