Pearl Morissette Estate Winery

Pearl Morissette Estate Winery grows grapes at Jordan, in the Niagara Peninsula appellation.

Where it sits

Pearl Morissette Estate Winery is at Jordan, 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 Gamay, Chardonnay, Riesling and Cabernet Franc.

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.

Visiting

Tastings offered at the winery (site nav 'Tastings' and a TASTINGS link in the winery contact block); no hours stated
