Named after the distinctive geologic feature that is home to our first vineyard. This glacially deposited hill of gravels, clays and sands has two slopes, north and south; the Stoss side and the Lee side.

While Ontario has been blessed by incredible soils and interesting terroir, our distinct northern, continental climate puts us in a precarious position for winter bud survival. As a result, winegrowers go to incredible lengths to protect our fragile buds and devise robust strategies to escape winter with minimal damage to the tender plants. In our case, we use a Spare Parts system to minimize our risk through the coldest months. Here we rely on keeping extra canes or trunks through the winter to provide insurance options and geotextile blankets to 'tent' our rows of vines and capture the earth's heat. Once we've escaped winter's harshest conditions, we open up and remove the blankets and eventually do a final second pruning to balance each vine to the appropriate amount of buds to ensure the highest quality grapes.
