Product Description

Cave Spring’s vineyards are located in the Beamsville Bench and Twenty Mile Bench regions of the Niagara Peninsula. These areas have a long growing season and a combination of hot summers and cold winters, which creates the perfect conditions for growing grapes.

Cave Spring is known for producing high-quality, award-winning wines that reflect the unique character of the Niagara Peninsula. The winery has won numerous awards at national and international wine competitions, including the prestigious Decanter World Wine Awards. One of their most famous wines is the Cave Spring Riesling, which is known for its crisp and refreshing taste with flavors of green apple and citrus. The winery also produces a range of red and white wines, as well as sparkling wines.
The winemaking process at Cave Spring begins with the grapes being hand-picked and sorted to ensure only the highest quality fruit is used. The grapes are then gently crushed and fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve the delicate flavors. After fermentation, the wine is aged in oak barrels to add depth and complexity to the flavor. The winery uses a combination of traditional and modern winemaking techniques to create wines that are balanced and full of character.
In addition to producing high-quality wines, Cave Spring is also committed to sustainability and protecting the environment. The winery has implemented a number of eco-friendly practices, including using solar panels to power the winery, recycling water, and using natural pest control methods in the vineyards. The winery is also a member of VQA Ontario, which is an organization that promotes the production of high-quality wines in the province.
