Stoney Ridge Estate Winery

Stoney Ridge Estate Winery draws from the Niagara Peninsula, Ontario's premier cool-climate wine region. The estate focuses on Cabernet Franc, a variety that thrives in the region's moderate temperatures and benefits from the moderating influence of nearby water. The Wismer Vineyard Reserve Cabernet Franc represents the winery's commitment to the grape, a wine that Wine Spectator has assessed. Cabernet Franc in Niagara tends toward bright acidity and structured tannins, with the potential for complexity as the vintage matures. The winery's work with single-vineyard designations reflects a precision-driven approach to terroir expression in a region increasingly recognized for its capacity to produce serious cool-climate reds.
