Fonthill's Famed Kame Delta
The glacial landscape our vineyards call home.
The winery sits on the Fonthill Kame Delta, a landscape left behind by retreating glaciers thousands of years ago.
The result is an unusual mix of rock, gravel and sand that’s very different from many other parts of Niagara.
That difference is one of the reasons we planted here.
Today our two vineyards grow on different parts of the Kame Delta. Tice Road is rocky and planted mainly to red varieties. Effingham Street has lighter, sandier soils and is home to our Riesling vineyard.
Today, Tice Road is planted mainly to Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Chambourcin and Baco Noir, while Effingham Street is home to our Riesling vineyard and the winery itself.
