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.
