The winery was founded by a group of wine-loving friends on a property once owned by the Cistercian Order of Nuns, a religious order of the Roman Catholic Church. It has operated as a fruit orchard, and was owned by a local family who operated it as a mink farm until 1970 when it was abandoned. In 1995, the land was converted into a vineyard, the first grapes were planted in 1996, the first vintage was made in 2000, and the winery opened in 2002. To date, we farm more than 180 estate acres.
Nose:
A subtle and fruity nose of pineapple, pear and lemon zest is complimented with soft hints of melted butter.
Palate:
The wine shows a medium body and crisp acidity makes it a great food wine. Lemony citrus, pear and apple flavours dominate the palate, with subtle and warm undertones of vanilla and buttered popcorn.
