Keint-he only focuses on those grape varietals that most effectively showcase the terroir of the region. The result is award winning, terroir-based wines that reflect our standard for quality and the character of the region in which they were produced.
ROSEHALL RUN VINEYARDS
Dan and Lynn Sullivan, with support from Cam Reston (JCR), founded Rosehall Run in 2000. The 150-acre farm was selected due to its proximity to Lake Ontario (1-2 kms on three sides) and the remarkable clay soil scattered with rock and shale fragments on a calcareous limestone base. One of the earliest Prince Edward County wineries established in the west central region known as Hillier Ward; planting of the vineyard began in 2001 with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Today there are 25 acres of vinifera (vines) including Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, Gewürztraminer, Muscat and Tempranillo.
SANDBANKS WINERY
Sandbanks Estates winery is situated along the picturesque shores of Lake Ontario, in the heart of beautiful Prince Edward County. In 2001, founder Catherine Langlois purchased the land & planted 5+ acres of Baco Noir, Cabernet Franc, Riesling, Pinot noir, Vidal, Geisenheim and Marechal Foch. Her vision was to produce quality, award winning wines at an approachable price that pair perfectly with delicious food. Sandbanks wines are meant to be shared in harmony with friends and family.
