Our estate is located at the northern tip of the Niagara River sub-appellation bordered by the Niagara River to the East and Lake Ontario to the North. The river’s flow creates air convection currents which create moderate temperatures and draw cold air away from vineyards and into the river gorge. To the north, breezes from Lake Ontario provide a reliable and widely distributed moderating effect on temperatures throughout the seasons. These air currents ward off early spring and late fall frosts and most notably support an extended growing season giving us an advantage on our later-ripening varieties. The commitment, which starts in the vineyard, is to produce ultra-premium reds which require superior viticultural practices. Two Sisters Vineyards emphasize the varieties the estate grows best with our terroir; Cabernet Franc with its earthy structure, Cabernet Sauvignon for its rich, muscular presence and Merlot for its perfumed, elegant harmony between red and dark fruit aroma and taste. During the season, all fruit is tended, bunch and leaf thinning by hand. Our objective is to let the grapes hang well into the autumn. All of our fruits are handled gently and with the utmost attention to every detail from vineyard through to bottle.
