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.
There
are thousands of people, every year, exploring Niagara wineries,
and
that
is why we have made our contribution, to help you in your wine tours
and overall experience.
