Despite severe weather events, our roots hold firm.

St. Catharines, Ontario, September 8th, 2026 - The first grapes of the 2026 harvest were hand-picked on Niagara's Short Hills Bench early this morning, 5 days later than the 2025 harvest. This is Henry of Pelham's 38th vintage! This year's harvest began with hand-picking Pinot Noir for our award-winning Cuvée Catharine traditional method sparkling wines. This will be followed by our iconic Baco Noir and then Chardonnay for our sparkling wines. "We are excited about the potential for this year's crop and resulting wine quality," said Matthew Speck, Senior Vice President of Operations. "Especially the addition of our newly acquired 120 acre Rockway Ridge vineyard located in the Twenty Mile Bench appellation. So far vines from all of our vineyards are healthy with uniform crop and above-average cluster size." Selections from our 2026 vintage will be available in market starting in early 2027 led by our aromatic white and rosé wines. |
