Reif Estate Winery, Family-owned wine estate in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Canada.
Description
Reif Estate Winery is a family-run wine producer in Niagara-on-the-Lake located on roughly 125 acres along the Niagara River. The vineyards have been planted since 1977 and create wines from grapes grown directly on the property.
History
The estate was founded in 1977 when Ewald Reif brought his family's winemaking tradition from Neustadt, Germany, to the Niagara River area. He established this property to continue the family's European winemaking heritage in Canada.
Culture
The Wine Sensory Garden displays different grape varieties in separate sections, allowing visitors to compare Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay side by side. You can taste and smell each variety to understand what makes them distinct.
