The Good Wine is born in our petite lot vineyards nestled at the foot of the Beamsville Bench in Twenty Valley. This region is gaining international recognition for the quality of wines produced and we are proud to play a part in the growth of Niagara’s wine country.
Our wines are predominantly crafted from Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc grapes from our small lot vineyards. The grapes are tended by gentle hands: hand pruned and thinned judiciously to produce very low yields of quality grapes. They are harvested by hand and transformed into VQA wines that complement the foods of the seasons. This makes them a fitting addition to any feast.

Chardonnay minus the oak to highlight the grape’s lovely fruit and delicious flavours. Peach, granny smith apple, ripe pear and a lemon zest make up a lovely mix of aromas on the nose. The palate is medium bodied with a slightly creamy texture that is perfectly balanced with a fresh crisp finish. Flavours of Niagara stone fruit, apple blossom and honey dominate the palate. Lovey with a variety of light dishes or equally enjoyable on its own!

A good companion on its own or with culinary companions, this is a Chardonnay to suit all your needs. The nose is simultaneously rich and fresh, with aromas of vanilla, hazelnut, lavender, poached pear, anise and orange rind. The palate starts off full and creamy with flavours of vanilla, browned butter and allspice, but gives way to fresh notes of red apple, tangerine and bright lemon. The finish is also balanced; light acidity pairs with a supple, creamy texture.
2018 Betty’s Blend,

Betty’s Blend is a beauty of a blend! This combination of aromatic varietals pushes a citrusy nose with juicy bits of lime, lychee, grapefruit and sour candy. In the mouth, you get a lively citrus-infused palate with a rich middle and crisp finish. Pear, apple, and ruby red grapefruit are the dominate flavours, with a creamy, brady note lingering beneath. The wine is fresh, clean and crisp; a great bistro-style white perfect for all occasions.
2017 Viognier
VQA Niagara Peninsula, $28.95
Dry, Residual Sugar 3 g/L, ABV 14.6%
Nothing warms the heart like a bold, aromatic Viognier! Beautiful nose with rich notes of honeysuckle, mandarin orange, marzipan and fresh grapefruit rind.

A complex and rewarding taste experience from beginning to end!

Beautiful ruby red colour, our Pinot Noir is an elegant, savory dining companion. A vibrant nose of black cherries and chocolate with a lovely floral hint of violet.
