Wineries

13th Street Winery

13th Street Winery grows grapes at St. Catharines, in the Niagara Peninsula appellation. It dates its founding to 1998.

Where it sits

13th Street Winery is at St. Catharines, inside Niagara Peninsula — one of the three appellations of origin recognised under Ontario's VQA system. What that claim means on a label, and how the boundary is defined in regulation, is set out on the regions page.

What it grows

The winery works with Gamay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Pinot Grigio, Viognier, Riesling, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Pinot Noir.

Each of those has a page here on how it behaves in Ontario: the heat it needs to ripen, the Brix it reaches at harvest, and which parts of the province actually plant it.
