Skye Chase Estate Winery

Skye Chase Estate Winery grows grapes at St. Thomas, ON, in the Lake Erie North Shore appellation.

Where it sits

Skye Chase Estate Winery is at St. Thomas, ON, 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 Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet.

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.
