2023 Pinot Noir VQA Prince Edward County
NEW RELEASE
The grapes for our 2023 Pinot Noir are from the East and West Blocks of our vineyard (60%) and from the Devil’s Wishbone vineyard (40%) here in the County. The growing season was relatively warm, giving grapes with rich, ripe flavours. The grapes were destemmed to whole berries without crushing and fermented in 1 tonne bins for two to three weeks with punchdowns done by hand. After gently pressing, the wine was then aged in French oak barrels for 20 months.
Our gentle handling in the winery has helped a classic County Pinot Noir to emerge, with intense cherry and cedar flavours that persist and combine with soft tannins to give a very long lasting finish.

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.

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.

2024 Pinot Gris cuivré
VQA Prince Edward County NEW RELEASE
The grapes for our 2024 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 in contact with the juice for 72 hours before pressing and starting fermentation. This technique has resulted in a wine with added complexity, and a touch of tannins on the finish. It’s a wine style that dates back hundreds of years, but is now not so common. We have taken it and developed it for our own tastes with compelling results.
When tasted, the beginning flavour is deep and rich, developing a complex sweetness as it blends with the slightly tannic tones of the very long - lasting finish. There are flavours and aromas of caramelized apricot and mandarin orange, with balanced acidity during the taste.

2018 Riesling Lincoln Lakeshore NEW RELEASE
The grapes for our 2018 Riesling were from the Lincoln Lakeshore of the Niagara Peninsula. The growing season was warm, giving ripe, rich flavours while maintaining bright acidity. The grapes were destemmed and the resulting juice and skins were left together for 2 days before pressing. The juice was then fermented followed by malolactic fermentation which was allowed to occur naturally, helping to bring the acidity into balance.
Tasting this wine is memorable as it starts with several very sweet seeming lines whose flavours are superimposed on an increasingly strong dark background that comprises the eventual smooth and long-lasting finish. This is a dry Riesling with aromas and flavours of apple and citrus. It also has some petrol aroma, characteristic of aged Rieslings. 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.

2023 Cabernet Franc VQA Prince Edward County
NEW RELEASE
The grapes for our 2023 Cabernet Franc are from The Devil’s Wishbone vineyard here in Prince Edward County. The 2023 growing season was relatively warm and, after hand harvesting, the grapes were destemmed to whole berries with no crushing, then cold soaked and fermented as whole berries for a total time of about 26 days to help extract fruit flavours while not extracting too much tannin. The wine was then aged in older French oak barrels for 17 months and was not fined or filtered. The resulting wine is a beautiful Cabernet Franc that starts with soft appealing flavours which gradually become deeper before giving way to a long-lasting very strong finish.
This is a medium bodied Cabernet Franc having bright raspberry flavours, minerality, soft tannins and pleasing acidity. Drink now through 2035.
