In 2010, the ICEL family purchased 60 acres of fallow land that was
formerly an old peach orchard. The ICELs planted 95% red vinifera grapes
in the vineyard, which enjoys one of the warmest growing seasons in
Niagara. The family owned and operated winery focuses on dry, powerful
wines such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Bordeaux-style blends, Syrah
as well as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Visit the boutique winery to taste
small-lot, hand-crafted ultra-premium wines.
