When Anne and Marc Alton purchased their vineyard on the Southern shores of Lake Huron, they quickly realized their dream job of producing 100% handcrafted VQA’s in the heart of the world’s wine belt, what is also quickly becoming Ontario’s newest emerging wine region. From the planting of grape vines to the corking of bottles, every step in their winemaking process is done by hand.
A trip to the vineyard is not complete without a wine tasting of their traditional Vinifera-based wines, including the signature Aberarder Red (an earthy, leathery Bordeaux), and Aberarder White (a citrusy white that beckons to be sipped on sunny summer days), as well as paying a visit to their herd of 17 sheep who act as both companions and key component to their sustainable growing practices.
