Palatine Hills Estate Winery

Palatine Hills Estate Winery grows grapes at Niagara-on-the-Lake, in the Niagara Peninsula appellation.

Where it sits

Palatine Hills Estate Winery is at Niagara-on-the-Lake, inside Niagara Peninsula — 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 Chardonnay, Vidal and Merlot.

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.
