2021 Pinot Noir VQA Prince Edward County
The grapes for our 2021 Pinot Noir are from the Narrow Rows and the other blocks of our own vineyard plus some from the Devil’s Wishbone vineyard here in the County. The 2021 growing season was overall on the cool side and in cooler years the pinot noir is more floral, with bright fruit flavours and less tannin than in the hotter years. The grapes were destemmed to whole berries without crushing and fermented in one tonne bins for about two to three weeks. After gently pressing, the wine was then aged in French oak barrels for 13 months. Malolactic fermentation was allowed to occur naturally during aging to impart smoothness. To avoid oxidation, wine from the barrels was moved to a tank by gas pressure with as little disturbance as possible before bottling.
Our noninterventionist approach in the winery has resulted in an elegant and interesting Pinot Noir that reflects the County terroir – aromas and bright flavours of rose, cedar and cherry, soft but plentiful tannins and nicely balanced acidity.

2022 Pinot Noir VQA Prince Edward County
NEW RELEASE
The grapes for our 2022 Pinot Noir are from the East and West Blocks of our vineyard (82%) and from the Devil’s Wishbone vineyard (18%) here in the County. We had a very low yield in 2022 due to the wet fall of 2021 followed by the cold winter of 2022, resulting in a higher concentration of flavour in fewer grapes. The grapes were destemmed to whole berries without crushing and fermented in 1 tonne bins for about two to three weeks. After gently pressing, the wine was then aged in French oak barrels for 10 months. Malolactic fermentation was allowed to occur naturally during aging giving an enjoyable smoothness to the taste. Gas pressure was used to move the wine from barrels to a tank with as little disturbance as possible before bottling.
Tasting Notes: Our noninterventionist approach in the winery has resulted in a Pinot Noir that has a unique and memorable structure: a very rich and focused strong fruit taste reflecting the County terroir that is maintained right to and through the finish, actually dominating it. The taste has aromas and flavours of cedar, red currant and cherry superimposed on soft but plentiful tannins with nicely balanced acidity and is long lasting.

2021 Sun Dog VQA Lincoln Lakeshore
NEW RELEASE
This wine is made from Cabernet Franc grapes from Vorona Vineyards in the Niagara Peninsula, right by the town of Beamsville. The 2021 growing season was relatively cool and there was a lot of rain throughout the middle and end of harvest. Because of this, the wine is very light in colour. It has a young lively, almost happy feel. We decided to call it “Sun Dog” in honour of our old dog Oliver (2008-2023). It reminds us of walking in the meadow by the winery after a rain, with the sun refracting through the clouds and the smell of wet grasses and flowers in the air. For many years, Oliver greeted arriving customers with a pamphlet in his mouth and lead them into the winery. He became a well known feature of Stanners Vineyard. For this memorable wine, the grapes were cold soaked and fermented for a total time of 7 weeks, then pressed and aged in older French oak barrels for 23 months. The wine was bottled without filtration.
Regarding taste, this is a very light, delicious Cabernet Franc with aromas and flavours of strawberry, dill and turmeric.

2019 Chardonnay VQA Prince Edward County
The grapes for our 2019 Chardonnay are from our estate vineyard and one other County vineyard. The growing season was relatively cool, giving grapes with bright vivid flavours and crisp acidity. The grapes were hand harvested, destemmed and given 2 days of skin contact before pressing to help increase complexity and mouthfeel. The wine was fermented in French oak barrels and then aged in barrel for 32 months.
The result was striking, with perfectly matched strong fruit and acid proceeding together during tasting until joining the nicely balanced tannic and bitter elements of the finish all holding together for a long-lasting memorable finish. Lovely aromas and flavours of ripe apple, vanilla and lime are enhanced by balanced acidity. Excellent with rich seafood, savoury chicken with spice, and butternut squash.

2018 Chardonnay VQA Prince Edward County
The grapes for our 2018 Chardonnay are from our estate vineyard and two other County vineyards. The growing season was relatively warm, giving grapes with ripe, full flavours but still with crisp acidity. The wine was 42% fermented and aged for 12 months in French oak and 58% fermented and aged in stainless steel. This wine begins with beautiful rich fruit flavours followed by nicely balanced acidity and a slowly developing tannin-like finish. The overall impression is unique and memorable.

2023 Pinot Gris cuivré
VQA Prince Edward County NEW RELEASE
The grapes for our 2023 Pinot Gris are from our estate vineyard and the Devil’s Wishbone vineyard, in Prince Edward County. The wine has a beautiful copper colour which comes from leaving the skins, which have a reddish-brown colour, in contact with the juice for 72 hours prior to pressing and starting fermentation. This technique has resulted in a wine with added complexity, and a touch of tannins. It’s a wine-making style that dates back hundreds of years but is now not so common. However, this is our favourite way of making Pinot Gris! Our 2023 Pinot Gris is very much a significant wine with strong complex fruit and an incredible finish. The fruit holds and blends beautifully with the finish which is deep and extremely long- lasting. This wine is unique and unforgettable, with flavours and aromas of pear and mandarin orange, balanced acidity and noticeable tannins on the finish.

2017 Riesling VQA Ontario
The grapes for our 2017 Riesling are from a vineyard in the Lincoln Lakeshore sub-appellation of the Niagara Peninsula (90%) and from a vineyard in Prince Edward County (10%). A cold and wet spring and early summer was fortunately followed by a hot and dry fall resulting in grapes with nicely ripened flavours while maintaining a bright acidity. The grapes were destemmed and the juice was allowed to sit with the skins for 6 days before pressing. The juice was then fermented to dryness in stainless steel. Malolactic fermentation was allowed to occur naturally, helping to bring the acidity into balance and imparting an appealing smoothness. The wine was given extended lees contact, adding some creaminess and texture. This is a dry Riesling with aromas and flavours of apple and citrus. Its nicely balanced acidity makes it versatile for pairing with food, such as delicate seafood dishes, pasta with goat’s cheese, or spicy sushi rolls.

2022 Pinot Noir VQA Prince Edward County
The Narrow Rows SOLD OUT
The vines in our vineyard are planted very close together in narrowly spaced rows. This encourages competition between the roots and sends them down deeper into the fractured limestone soil, helping to produce more concentrated and complex flavours in the grapes. To produce this Pinot Noir we chose the grapes from the narrowest rows and oldest vines of our vineyard (planted in 2005). The wine was aged in French oak barrels for about 12 months. . Gas pressure was used to rack the wine from barrels to a tank with as little disturbance as possible before bottling. The wine was bottled without filtration.
The resulting Pinot Noir is truly incredible. Tasting starts with a beautiful streak of highly enjoyable fruit which meets a wall of perfectly balanced warm tannins. The latter dominate and carry the wine for what seems an indefinitely long memorable finish.
The 2022 growing season was notable for being a very low yield year due to the very wet fall of 2021 followed by the cold winter of 2022. Lower yield results in more concentrated flavours in the grapes. This is a complex, mineral wine with aromas and flavours of red currant, cherry and cedar. We expect it to age well over the next 5 to 10 years.

2022 Cabernet Franc VQA Ontario
NEW RELEASE
The grapes for our 2022 Cabernet Franc are from Vorona Vineyards in Lincoln Lakeshore (81%) and from the Devil’s Wishbone vineyard (19%) here in Prince Edward County. The yield was very low due to the cool weather conditions of 2022, so this is a very limited release with concentrated flavours. The grapes were cold soaked and fermented as whole berries for a total time of about 30 days to help extract fruit flavours while not extracting too much tannin. After pressing, the wine was aged for 16 months in older French oak barrels and was not fined or filtered to avoid losing any fruit flavours. The wine begins with a soft sweet fruit taste which slowly becomes more defined, focussed and strong, leading to a very long memorable finish. The strong fruit flavours may be best described as bright raspberry and cherry and, with its balanced tannin and acidity, the wine provides exceptional enjoyment. It could be drunk from now to 2035 and later.
