Ferox by Fabian Reis

Ferox is Fabian Reis's own label in Niagara.

He is a sixth-generation winemaker from Stuttgart, where the family has been making wine since 1893. He left that behind to work in his own style here, alongside his wife Stephanie, a sommelier. The wines come out bold and structured rather than delicate.

Every bottle ships straight from the winery.

The story behind Ferox

Ferox began in 2015 with a single barrel. Winemaker Fabian Reis made one lot of Merlot and Cabernet before he owned any land, a virtual winery built on borrowed cellar space. In 2018 he and his wife Stephanie bought their own Niagara-on-the-Lake estate.

The name is Latin for fierce, or wild, which fits a project that started this small and this stubborn.

Sixth-generation, small-lot reds

Wine runs deep in Fabian Reis's family. He is a sixth-generation winemaker trained in Germany, and his grandfather founded Konzelmann, another Niagara-on-the-Lake winery. Ferox is where he works on his own terms.

The focus is intense Bordeaux-style reds, Meritage blends and single varietals, made in tiny lots. Fabian and Stephanie hand-harvest the fruit and hand-seal each bottle with wax, which tells you the scale of the place.
