Closson Chase Vineyards

Closson Chase Vineyards grows grapes at Hillier, in the Prince Edward County appellation. It dates its founding to 1998.

Where it sits

Closson Chase Vineyards is at Hillier, inside Prince Edward County — 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 Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris.

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.

Vineyard area: over 30 acres of vineyard.
