Tawse Wine & Spirits is a family-owned winery and distillery situated on the lower slopes of the Niagara Escarpment
Tawse is a family-owned estate winery situated on the lower slopes of the Niagara Escarpment (Vineland Double Bench). Tawse Winery opened its doors in the spring of 2005. Blessed with a hillside terrain, our winery features a unique six-level, gravity-fed processing system. The winery is named after the owner Moray Tawse.
The first vintage was in 2001 when Deborah Paskus had the foresight to bring a sorting table to use on the fruit. Who knew at the time but it was the first year of the lady beetles and the sorting table not only eliminated the unripe and bad bunches but it also eliminated the the ladybeetles.
The fruit is harvested from old-growth, low-yield vines and gently handled using natural gravity flow and geothermic energy. They apply rigorous organic and biodynamic methods to every aspect of their wine production and Ecocert and Demeter seals now appear on all Tawse vintages made from our biodynamic vineyards Certified organic and biodynamic.
VARIETALS Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc and Syrah.
Tawse was named 'Canadian Winery of the Year' by Canadian Wine Access Magazine in 2010, 2011 2012 and 2016.
