wine

“33 Vines is producing premium red and white wines from our 10 acres of vinifera grapevines, including: Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot. Our wines show wonderful characteristics of our cool climate location, from the limestone and clay based loamy soils to the fresh water inlet breezes from Lake Ontario. Fresh fruit, crisp acidity, minerality and delicate flavours are all aspects of our wine that we are extremely proud.”
