Hinterland
Hinterland produces wines from Prince Edward County, Ontario's cool-climate region. The winery works primarily with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, varieties that thrive in the county's distinctive terroir. Sacrament, a Pinot Noir and Chardonnay blend, represents the winery's core expression and has been rated by Decanter. Les Etoiles, a three-varietal blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and Chardonnay, offers a more complex profile. Blanc de Blancs, a pure Chardonnay, demonstrates the region's capacity for elegant, mineral-driven whites. Prince Edward County's cool growing season and lake-moderated climate create conditions suited to the precision and acidity these varieties demand. Hinterland's focus on Burgundian grapes reflects the broader character of Ontario's wine country, where restrained alcohol and food-friendly profiles define the regional style.
