Uncompromising Craft Wines in Our Prince Edward County Winery & Vineyard

We let nature guide the winemaking process at our Prince Edward County winery. Winemaker Mackenzie Brisbois aims for honesty inside the bottle—whether it be our Skin-Ferment Riesling, Orange Wine, Pét Nat Sparkling, soulfully complex Unfiltered Chardonnay, or barrel-aged varietals. We use wild ferments (indigenous yeasts) and leave many of our artisanal wines whole and unfiltered without the use of additional enzymes or tannins.

Each wine tells the story of site and vintage with unabashed honesty and is never the same year-to-year (nor should it be). Each wine should be surprising, textural and soulful; not predictable. We take this credo to heart and hold back a large ratio of past vintages in our library. As each wine ages, the artisanal nature of each wine becomes apparent. Visit our winery’s newly-opened warm, modern tasting space and try for yourself! Or join the wine club to have a selection of wines delivered to your doorstep at intervals of your choosing!

    Winemaker’s Cellar Tasting

    -

    For one day only, we're opening up the cellar in this small-group, exclusive cellar tasting of wines direct from the barrel. Learn about the origins of the wines and about our minimalist small-batch winemaking process across skin-contact and barrel-ferment reds and whites. Taste wines in-progress and compare to their finished siblings with a specific emphasis on texture, acidity and flavour definition.

    Saturday Feb. 16, 12pm and 2pm only. $25/pp RSVP required, 8ppl max.
    Allow at least 45 minutes.
