Henry of Pelham was one of the first wineries to plant Mosel Riesling vines in Ontario. They did so with research and care, which is clearly reflected in the wines they produce. This fine example is crisp, balanced and aromatic, with grapefruit, lemon, peach, tangy lime and a long finish. Sip with glazed ham or coconut shrimp.

Sourced from vines dating back to the Speck's original plantings in 1984, this classic expression of an Ontario specialty is always a bold, unforgettable wine. The dark fruit, oak spice and chocolate would pair beautifully with smoked beef and roast vegetables. Enjoy this Niagara standout through 2033+.

The Vidal in this electric two-pack was sourced primarily from vineyards planted in 1984. Bold and intense with a rich, complex character, the Vidal Icewine 2017 is very tropical, with notable mango and pineapple tones. The red Icewine 2018 is Vidal blended with Cabernet Franc and delivers resplendent notes of raspberry and strawberry atop the classic Vidal tones.

Expertly crafted, this stunning Icewine is a study in elegance, with notes of flowers, candied citrus fruit, nuts, poached pear and honeydew melon balanced by refreshing acidity. Charming with a plate of artisanal cheeses or freshly baked apple pie.

Baco Noir is grown virtually exclusively in Canada, and Henry of Pelham is home to some of the very best expressions. This example is concentrated and generously flavoured, with dancing floral and smoky dark fruit supported by fresh rye bread, and black olive richness. This wants big meaty meals; think barbecued flank steak, bison burgers or lamb kebabs.

Henry of Pelham have been making exceptional Baco Noir for decades. The Old Vines Baco Noir is sourced from vines dating as far back as 1984. This is a premium expression of the grape, showing smoke, toasty oak, coffee and plum, with pleasing tannins and a robust structure. This wine pairs naturally with beefy barbecue.

The 2017 vintage of Carte Blanche is easily among the best sparkling wines made in Ontario that I have tasted. It's made from 100% estate grown Chardonnay from the Short Hills Bench with 20% of the fruit barrel fermented. Secondary fermentation occurs in the bottle (traditionally made) and is followed by a further 54 months aging on the lees. Such an intriguing nose of lemon tart, brioche/autolytic notes, apple/quince fruit, poached pear, pie crust and showing a light golden colour in the glass. It's pure hedonistic pleasure on the palate with a soft(ish) but elegant bead, ripe stone fruits, baked bread/biscuit notes, lemon, fresh saline/flinty minerality, and mouth-watering acidity keeping it clean and fresh through a lifted finish. Such depth and verve. Wow, just beautiful! Score - 95+. (Rick VanSickle, winesinniagara.com, Dec. 9, 2024)

Baco noir's wild berry and smoky notes are deftly handled at Henry of Pelham, where this grape has become a recognized specialty. Deep ruby red colour with purple hints; smoky, prune aromas with spice, floral and chocolate notes. Extra dry and medium-bodied with pronounced chokeberry flavours lingering on a smoky finish.
