Welcome to Sperling Vineyards

Order our Natural Amber Pinot Gris now! This wine sells out fast every year. Pinot Gris whole clusters and stemmed grapes are fermented with wild yeast, and undergo wild malolactic conversion, taking sugars and malic acid to complete dryness. We press the must and let it settle, rather than fining or filtering, and do not ameliorate with additives, such as sulphites. It is not an expression of a vessel, but a savory expression of the complete Pinot Gris grape adapted over 20 years to our site.

"The Vision Series Pinot Noir was planted in 2008 on blocks noted for their calcium-limestone-rich clay soils...The intriguing nose begins with notes of forest floor and late autumn leaves and opens to a melange of savoury red berries, beetroot, nutmeg and spice notes that are fully integrated. It’s silky smooth on the palate with ripe and savoury black raspberries, cherry tart, anise, sage, earthy notes, spice, and a long finish fuelled by mouth-watering acidity. Beautiful, complex and cellar-worthy Pinot Noir." 93 points, Rick VanSickle, Wines in Niagara

ORGANIC, VEGAN & GLUTEN-FREE

“This old vine, organic Foch was planted in the 1960s by winemaker Ann Sperling’s (above) dad Bert. It produces low yields with berries that are high in concentration. It’s tight on the nose, but swirl away and it will reveal a range of cassis, anise, black currants and earth followed by earthy/forest floor notes. It’s highly structured and complex on the palate but the fruit pops with dark berries, a touch of kirsch, licorice, savoury herbs, earth and depth through a long and lively finish. History in a bottle here.” 92 pts
