Wineries

Malivoire Wine Company, The

Malivoire Wine Company, The grows grapes at Beamsville, in the Beamsville Bench sub-appellation of Niagara Peninsula. It dates its founding to 1995.

Where it sits

Malivoire Wine Company, The is at Beamsville, and its fruit falls inside Beamsville 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 Gamay, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer, Foch, Seyval Blanc, Viognier, Merlot and Melon.

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: 40 hectares.

Visiting

'OPEN 7 days a week, 10 am-6pm. (May - October); 10 am-5pm. (Nov-April)'
