The wine region of Vinemount Ridge
VQA sub-appellation of the Niagara Peninsula below the escarpment edge (Vinemount moraine, deep silty-clay loams, high water retention, good drainage): Riesling, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc and Pinot Noir are the signature stars — ripe sweet fruit, well-balanced whites with bright acidity and a fruit-salad palate, medium-bodied reds with natural structure. Gamay, Vidal and Merlot as fruity complements.
The wine region of Ontario
World reference for Canadian Icewine: exceptional sweet wines from grapes frozen on the vine, golden colour, signature notes of candied apricot, mango, honey, citrus and exotic fruits, opulent sugar balanced by taut acidity (Vidal for fruit, Riesling for finesse). Cool-climate still wines: mineral, lively Riesling, precise Chardonnay, fine Pinot Noir (cherry, undergrowth), peppery Cabernet Franc. ~5,500 ha on the Niagara Peninsula between Lake Ontario and the escarpment, VQA.
The word of the wine: Oenologist
Specialist in wine-making techniques. It is a profession and not a passion: one can be an oenophile without being an oenologist (and the opposite too!). Formerly attached to the Faculty of Pharmacy, oenology studies have become independent and have their own university course. Learning to make wine requires a good chemical background but also, increasingly, a good knowledge of the plant. Some oenologists work in laboratories (analysis). Others, the consulting oenologists, work directly in the properties.
