Sue-Ann Staff Estate Winery

Sue-Ann Staff Estate Winery grows grapes at Jordan, ON, in the Twenty Mile Bench sub-appellation of Niagara Peninsula. It dates its founding to 2009.

Where it sits

Sue-Ann Staff Estate Winery is at Jordan, ON, 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 Riesling, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Gris, Vidal, Baco Noir and Concord.

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.
