Healthy People, Plants & Soils

We make low-intervention and natural wines from grapes grown in Prince Edward County as well as other regions of Ontario. Everything we make is a culmnination of thoughtful farming practices (organic with a healthy dose of regenerative), diverse biomes, wild yeasts and no-/low-intervention winemaking. We are known to push boundaries regardless of wine style: we adore Pinot Noir AND hybrids! We pioneered Orange Wines in Canada. Chardonnay, Pét Nats or Traditional Method, equally, are sublime.
What don’t we do?
We do not use enzymes, tannins, acids, colours, reverse osmisis, etc. in our winemaking. Sulphurs or zero to low. All our wines, regardless of style, remain unfined, unfiltered and alive. All our wines are vegan-friendly.

OUR SITES
We grow our estate fruit as well as work with a community of like-minded growers in PEC, Niagara and Georgian Bay.
PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY

Trail Estate Vineyard
Prince Edward County Appellation
Prince Edward County Appellation
Our vineyard comprises 6.5 acres. Two acres each of Chardonnay an Pinot Noir, one acre Baco Noir, and the balance Riesling, Cabernet Franc, Geisenheim and Gewürztraminer. Our site consists of clay-like soil above many layers of calcareous limestone. The North Block has shallower soils (~12 inches) and heavier clay soils. The South Block has marginally deeper, more rocky soils. In summer, we often get drought-like conditions stressing the vines. The fruit has delicate aromatics, perfect natural acidity and tend towards flavours of citrus in whites and cran-strawberry in reds.
NIAGARA

Grimsby Hillside Vineyard
Lincoln Lakeshore Appellation
One of Ontario’s historic vineyards at the foot of the Escarpment, it has been growing grapes since 1874. While the vineyards have been replanted many times over, the site and farming practices are impeccable — and as of the 2022 vintage, the vast majority is grown with organic farming practices.

Foxcroft and Wingfield Vineyards
Twenty Mile Bench Appellation
A couple gems of Niagara. Half way up the escarpment on a south-facing slope, the Foxcroft Vineyard ripens rapidly in Fall. Wingfield, just a bit further up is a shadier site. Fruit from the Foxcroft Vineyard has a savoury and textural element while Wingfield, speaks to fruit purity.
