    The Prince of Wales Hotel WINE CELLAR MENU Chef Sommelier ~ Fred Gamula The Niagara Peninsula Wine Region The Niagara Peninsula has special climate and soil conditions that allow for the cultivation of premium wine- grape varietals. Climate is a key factor; a “Micro climate” is a small region sheltered from extreme climatic conditions which enables the grape to thrive. The Niagara region is a classic example. Here within an otherwise severe climate, exists a unique pocket of land which provides perfect conditions for grape growing. The Niagara Peninsula has the temperature-moderating influences of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. The Niagara Escarpment acts as an ideal wind protection, sheltering the area from harsher weather conditions which the surrounding areas may receive. Rolling hills with soil comprised of sand-gravel-clay mixture provide optimal conditions, affording the vines greater sun exposure and improved natural drainage. In 1988 Ontario introduced an appellation system known as Vintners Quality Alliance (, V.Q.A.). This alliance was designed after careful study of those of France (A.O.C.), Germany (Q.M.P.), Italy (D.O.C.), and the United States (B.A.T.F.), to help give Ontario wineries worldwide respect and quality standards. Bottles are given a seal which stipulates a general D.V.A. (Designated Viticultural Area) or a more specific D.V.A.. This designation assures that all the grapes that went into the prouction of the bottle of wine were in fact locally grown in Ontario.

  • Sensory Analysis of Ontario Riesling Wines from Various Water Status Zones
    VINE AND WINE OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL Volume 52 > Number 2 > 2018 Sensory analysis of Ontario Riesling wines from various water status zones James J. Willwerth, Andrew G. Reynolds * and Isabelle Lesschaeve Cool Climate Oenology and Viticulture Institute (CCOVI), Brock University, St. Catharines, ON Canada L2S 3A1 Abstract Aims: Determinants of the terroir effect in Riesling were sought by choosing vine water status as a major factor. It was hypothesized that consistent water status zones could be identified within vineyards, and, differences in wine sensory attributes could be related to vine water status. Methods and results: To test our hypothesis, 10 Riesling vineyards representative of each Ontario Vintners Quality Alliance (VQA) sub-appellation were selected. Vineyards were delineated using global positioning systems and 75 to 80 sentinel vines were geo-referenced within a sampling grid for data collection. During 2005 to 2007, vine water status measurements [leaf water potential ( ψ)] were collected bi-weekly from a subset of these sentinel vines. Vines were categorized into “low” and “high” leaf ψ zones within each vineyard through use of geospatial maps and replicate wines were made from each zone. Wines from similar leaf ψ zones had comparable sensory properties ascertained through sorting tasks and multidimensional scaling (2005, 2006). Descriptive analysis further indicated that water status affected wine sensory profiles, and attributes differed for wines from discrete leaf ψ zones. Multivariate analyses associated specific sensory attributes with wines of different leaf ψ zones. Several attributes differed between leaf ψ zones within multiple vineyard sites despite different growing seasons. Wines produced from vines with leaf ψ > -1.0 MPa had highest vegetal aromas whereas those with leaf ψ < -1.3 MPa were highest in honey, petrol and tropical fruit flavors.
