Konzelmann Estate Winery

Posted February 4, 2009 by brian in Ontario Wineries | No comments yet

Konzelmann Estate Winery, Niagara’s Exclusive Lakefront Winery, was established in Canada in 1984. Herbert Konzelmann chose the site on the shores of Lake Ontario due to the meso-climate, which is similar to the Alsace region in France. The wonderful balance of sun, soil, airflow and moisture conditions of this vineyard are ideal for the production of clean, delicate and fruity premium quality wines.  Join us at ‘The Konzelmann Winery Boutique and Tasting Bar’, and discover why we are heralded for providing one of the most friendly, informative and educational experiences in Niagara’s wine country. All year round we offer a wide variety of over 30 different VQA selections of quality wine for tasting and for purchase. Consequently, if you are looking for a particular favorite variety of wine or have an interest in discovering a new one, we have it here for you!

The protection provided by the nearby Niagara Escarpment, combined with the moderating influence of the lake, provides a longer growing period for the “noble” Vitis Vinifera vines of Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Chardonnay grapes.The cool-climate viticulture conditions are often enhanced by an “Indian summer”, a warming in autumn which allows for a later harvest, therefore creating a fine acid balance and natural sugar content in the grape. Also, with morning dew that settles on the grapes on his Lakeshore vineyards gives his wines a uniquely delicate and fruity character, comparable to those of the Alsace region of France. This positive climate produces grapes with a more constant Brix, or sugar level, a very positive attribute to Ontario.

Jackson Triggs Winery

Posted February 1, 2009 by admin in Ontario Wineries | No comments yet

Jackson-Triggs has a little more than fifty years experience in the wine industry between them, Allan Jackson and Don Triggs established Jackson-Triggs Vintners in the Fall of 1993 .By the spring of 1995, they were proud to introduce their Proprietors’ Selection Merlot, and in September, their Proprietors’ Selection Sauvignon Blanc.

The Sauvignon Blanc was so exceptional that it prompted one wine reviewer to write, “I tried calling Ripley’s Believe it or Not, for here was a Canadian-made wine that knocked the socks off the imported Sauvignon Blancs.” (Michael Vaughan, Vintage Assessments, October 1995.) The Proprietors’ Selection Sauvignon Blanc is still one of Jackson-Triggs’ most popular table wines in restaurants and homes from coast to coast.
