Redstone Winery

Redstone Winery grows grapes at Beamsville, in the Twenty Mile Bench sub-appellation of Niagara Peninsula.

Where it sits

Redstone Winery is at Beamsville, and its fruit falls inside Twenty Mile 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 Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

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: Redstone Vineyard 38 acres.
