Vignobles Stratus

Situé à l'extérieur de la ville historique de Niagara-on-the-Lake, Stratus Vineyards est un domaine viticole, qui se distingue par son installation à flux gravitaire certifiée LEED, son engagement envers la durabilité et ses vins d'une qualité exceptionnelle.

Connu comme l'un des pionniers de la vinification du Niagara, JL (Jean-Laurent) Groux a apporté à Stratus sa vision de la création de vins haut de gamme du Nouveau Monde, inspirée de l'art de l'assemblage de l'Ancien Monde. Utilisant le vignoble comme palette, il crée de la complexité par la diversité en assemblant plusieurs cépages pour créer un vin complexe et riche en textures. JL élabore ses vins pour qu'ils aient des arômes puissants, une bouche ronde, de la complexité, une longueur considérable et une capacité de vieillissement d'au moins sept à dix ans. Cela permet aux amateurs de vin de goûter aux bienfaits de la patience et du temps.

The story behind Stratus Vineyards

Stratus opened in 2005 on the edge of Niagara-on-the-Lake as the passion project of David Feldberg, who runs the design company Teknion. Design sits at the core of the place, and it shows the moment you see the building.

That building made history. Stratus was the first winery in the world to earn LEED certification for green design, awarded LEED Silver when it opened.

The art of assemblage

Stratus is built around assemblage, the idea of blending many grape varieties into one wine that is greater than its parts. The flagship Stratus White and Stratus Red are exactly that, shaped by founding winemaker J-L Groux.

Groux is one of Niagara's most respected names and won the Karl Kaiser Canadian Winemaker Award in 2023. The wines are made to age, and they reward a few years in the cellar.

Frequently asked questions

What is Stratus Vineyards known for?

Stratus is known for two things: its assemblage wines, the flagship Stratus White and Stratus Red, and its building, the first LEED-certified winery in the world. Both come back to a focus on design and blending.

What does assemblage mean?

Assemblage is the practice of blending several grape varieties into a single wine to get more complexity than any one grape gives on its own. It is the guiding idea behind the Stratus White and Stratus Red, and it is why the wines reward age.

Where is Stratus Vineyards?

On the outskirts of Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, in the Niagara Lakeshore area. The winery building itself is a landmark, being the first in the world to earn LEED green-building certification.
