Ideal location for Niagara Wineries
The Niagara region is ideally located for growing high quality grapes and wine making. Thanks to the proximity of two lakes, Lake Ontario and Lake Erie, and Natural reserve, The Escarpment, Niagara vineyards are protected from the extreme temperature fluctuation.The proximity of the Lake Ontario and the height of the Escarpment is not only suitable for grapes, but for fruits like cherries and peaches also. They are also used in the wine making process.
Niagara growers after testing many vine varieties are now using European grape sorts and the result is that they are making higher quality table wines. Thanks to the combination of all these parameters, wineries in Niagara and Niagara wines are owners of many prestige awards.
One of the award-winning wines is a Niagara Jewel, a dessert wine called "Icewine". Icewine is among the top North American wines. It is made from naturally frozen grapes, handpicked and immediately pressed.
