One of the most dramatic and innovative wineries in Niagara, and the first to be LEED certified, Stratus opened in 2005 with the intent of assembling one premium blended white and one red from multiple varietals grown on the sustainably farmed 22-hectare property. Bordeaux-trained Niagara veteran J-L Groux makes a range of limited-production, premium single-varietal reds (the 2007 Merlot is a standout), whites (likewise for the 2007 Chardonnay) and stunning Icewines - most are available only at the winery. Themed food and wine seminars are often featured in the contemporary tasting rooms and outdoor terrace.
