Redtail Vineyards | Buy Wines Online in Canada

In 2018 Thomas Stallinga purchased Redtail Vineyards, a beautiful vineyard with a history of “low intervention” winemaking. Thomas partnered with his close friend Brad Smith to create a vision to become one of the leading vineyards in Prince Edward County, featuring wines made from the local terroir.

Redtail makes clean, classic wines, reflecting Prince Edward County and Niagara grapes. 2023 will see our first crop of Redtail property grapes, kicking off our ultimate focus on local terroir.

To complement the emphasis on superior quality local fruit, Redtail opened its new “state of the art” production facility in the fall of 2021. In addition to the standard stainless and oak tanks generally used in wine production, Redtail imported beautiful cement tanks from Europe. Unlike stainless and oak tanks, the cement tanks remove any influence of the tank on the fermentation of the grapes. Leading to a true reflection of the local terroir in the wines. The new facility features high-tech equipment, common to the leading vineyards in Europe.

The story behind Redtail Vineyards

Redtail is a small vineyard in Consecon, at the western edge of Prince Edward County. It began as a roughly five-acre planting of Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris in the mid-2000s, and the winery opened its doors in 2009.

Since 2018 it has been under new ownership, with plans to expand the plantings well beyond those first few acres. The natural, low-intervention approach has stayed put through the change.

Organic and off the grid

Redtail farms organically and works in a low-intervention, natural style, down to brewing herbal teas for the vineyard. The wines are vegan and made with minimal sulphites.

The whole operation runs off the grid on geothermal and solar power, which is rare even among small natural-wine producers. Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris remain the heart of the estate.
