Oxley Estate Winery

Oxley Estate Winery grows grapes at Harrow (hamlet of Oxley), in the Lake Erie North Shore appellation. It dates its founding to 2012.

Where it sits

Oxley Estate Winery is at Harrow (hamlet of Oxley), inside Lake Erie North Shore — 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 Auxerrois, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Regent.

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: 38 acres.
