Flat Rock Cellars
Tasting fee: $20
Only in finding the perfect piece of land on the Twenty Mile Bench were we able to make the Flat Rock dream a reality. The estate combines perfect growing and soil conditions (terroir) with natural beauty and ideal topography. In fact, the slope is reminiscent of the great vineyards in Burgundy.
When owner Ed Madronich, a Toronto lawyer, found that Jordan Summit was not available, he remembered the unusual flat rocks in a ravine on the property and crafted a new name for the winery that opened in 2004. The winery's tasting room commands a view over undulating vineyards that surround it, and beyond, to Lake Ontario and the distant Toronto skylineSet into the side of a hill, the winery was cleverly designed as a gravity flow winery. The winery is filled with technical innovations, including a geothermal heating and cooling system. At the heart of this are 4,572 metres/15,000 feet of pipes snaking back and forth at the bottom of the small man-made lake beside the winery. Heat exchangers give the winery the option of cooling wine tanks or heating the winery, as required.
The advantage is a green image and inexpensive climate control.The winery has 65-acre vineyard, and is very tightly focused on Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Riesling.Flat Rock is releasing all its wines, red and white, in bottles that have screw-cap closures.
Platinum winning wine Flat Rock 2016 Nadja‚s Vineyard Riesling, Twenty Mile Bench at Nationals. Philosophy: We start in the vineyard with low yields, progressive viticulture practices and hand picking and sorting the grapes. We continue inside the winery with a sexy gravity-flow design and the latest in wine making equipment from around the world.
