Kirby Estate Wines

Kirby Estate Wines grows grapes at Niagara-on-the-Lake, in the Niagara Lakeshore sub-appellation of Niagara Peninsula.

Where it sits

Kirby Estate Wines is at Niagara-on-the-Lake, and its fruit falls inside Niagara Lakeshore, 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 Merlot, Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc 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.
