Our Wine
One thing unites every VQA wine produced by Henry of Pelham: the land. Our family has lived on it for generations, and our vines have been putting down deep roots in St. Catharines, Ontario for decades. From full-bodied Baco Noir to rich Chardonnay, our wines capture this unique connection to our corner of Niagara.
Red Wine
From Niagara's most premium vineyards, including those shovel planted by the Speck Bros. starting in 1984, our red wines are aged in a combination of French and American oak. The heavy clay soils with their tossed-up limestone, naturally limit the yields per vine and make for VQA wines of intensity and character.
White Wine
Our white wines reflect the classic Niagara style of VQA wine making with a nod to old world traditions. The contribution from our Estate vineyards in the Short Hills Bench are what make them definitively Henry of Pelham wines.
Rosé Wine
Our rosé wines are dry and refreshing with moderate acidity. Both our table and sparkling rosé wines come from the Niagara Peninsula, the most prominent wine region in Canada.
Icewine
Niagara's seasons are very delineated. Summer is warm and autumn is cool followed by a quick shift to winter's cold; these are the perfect conditions for producing Niagara Icewine and Late Harvest wines.
Sparkling Wine
We have maintained a time honoured tradition by naming our sparkling wines after the widow and matriarch of the family. Named after Catharine Smith, Henry of Pelham's wife, Cuvée Catharine is a hand-picked, bottle fermented sparkling wine that sees lengthy aging.
Speck Bros. Wine
Brothers Paul, Matthew, and Daniel Speck started planting vineyards in Niagara's Short Hills Bench as teens in 1984. Today, the Speck Bros. make wine, serious wine. Seriously.
