about wine
Our Wines
Vineland Estates Winery produces 60,000 cases of wine annually, the majority of which is made from estate grown fruit. Many of our varietal wines are labeled under the Niagara Escarpment sub-appellation. Although our Rieslings are consistently rated amongst the best in Ontario, we are also known for our focus on premium Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc, and for our signature Meritage which is produced in only the best years as the pinnacle of our red wine portfolio. Our wine portfolio is reflective of the cool climate varietals most suitable to Niagara and offers a variety of price points:
- Premium Series: These wines are produced from machine harvested fruit, farmed to 4.5 tons per acre and are priced from $12-18. Varietals include Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, Dry Riesling, Semi-Dry Riesling, Gamay Noir and Cabernet Franc.
- Elevation Series: All of our Elevation series wines are priced at $25. A small portion of our production, they are made from hand-picked, hand-sorted fruit farmed to 3.5 tons per acre and labeled under the Niagara Escarpment sub-appellation. Varietals include Sauvignon Blanc (fume style), Riesling (made from older vines from our St. Urban Vineyard), Cabernet Franc (oak aged) and Cabernet Merlot.
- Vineyard Series/Reserve: These wines represent the smallest portion of our production and are produced only in the best vintages with limited production. These wines are priced from $25-$40 and at $125 for the Red Meritage. Wines include St. Urban Vineyard Riesling (old vines bottling), Cabernet Merlot (Bo-Teek Vineyards), Chardonnay and Red Meritage.
