Flat Rock Cellars

Flat Rock Cellars grows grapes at Jordan Station, Lincoln, in the Twenty Mile Bench sub-appellation of Niagara Peninsula.

Where it sits

Flat Rock Cellars is at Jordan Station, Lincoln, and its fruit falls inside Twenty Mile Bench, 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, Riesling and Gewurztraminer.

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: 80 acres.
