16 Mile Cellar

16 Mile Cellar grows grapes at Lincoln, in the Creek Shores sub-appellation of Niagara Peninsula. It dates its founding to 2010.

Where it sits

16 Mile Cellar is at Lincoln, and its fruit falls inside Creek Shores, one of the sub-appellations nested within Niagara Peninsula. A sub-appellation is the narrower claim: a wine may carry it or the wider appellation name, and the boundaries are set in regulation rather than by the winery. The regions page covers how those lines are drawn.

What it grows

The winery works with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Gamay.

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.

Visiting
