Le domaine familial Henry of Pelham Winery est situé sur le banc Short Hills, dans la péninsule du Niagara. Henry Smith, fils de leur ancêtre canadien (Nicholas Smith vers 1778, fifre pendant la guerre d'Indépendance), a pris son nom de la route à péage qui traversait sa propriété. Il y a construit une auberge, une taverne et planté ses premiers vignobles. Enfants, les frères Speck ont restauré ses vignobles pour allier viticulture artisanale et vinification artisanale.

Henry of Pelham produit des vins tranquilles et mousseux, ainsi que sa spécialité régionale la plus célèbre, le vin de glace. Les vins tranquilles de cépage, de domaine et de la réserve familiale Speck sont les trois catégories qu'ils produisent, centrées sur le chardonnay, le riesling, le pinot noir, le baco noir et le cabernet-merlot. Des productions plus modestes incluent le sauvignon blanc, le pinot blanc, le gewurztraminer, le gamay et des rosés d'assemblage.

The story behind Henry of Pelham

Few Canadian wineries can trace their land as far back as Henry of Pelham. The Short Hills Bench property connects to a 1794 Crown land grant given to the Speck brothers' ancestor, Henry Smith, for service in the American Revolutionary War.

Paul Speck Sr. bought the parcels in 1982 and planted the first vines in 1984, with the first vintage in 1988. His three sons, Paul, Matthew, and Daniel, have run the estate since the early 1990s.

Baco Noir and Bench sparkling

No Canadian winery has done more for Baco Noir, a hardy hybrid grape most producers ignore. The Speck Family Reserve Baco Noir is the wine people come looking for, big and dark and unmistakably Niagara.

Alongside it are the Cuvee Catharine traditional-method sparklings and estate Riesling and Chardonnay off the Short Hills Bench. The winery has farmed to Sustainable Winegrowing Ontario standards since 2004.
