My Wine Canada Wine Club Feature: Ravine Vineyard Estate Winery
We're delighted to showcase the spectacular wines from Ravine Vineyard Estate Winery for this month's Wine Club feature. This charming St. Davids winery has a long family and agricultural legacy and is recognized for producing small-batch organic VQA wines.
Sign up for the wine club today to get an assortment of highly acclaimed Niagara wine delivered to you.
For five generations, the Lowrey family has owned and operated St. Davids' first commercial vineyard. With award-winning winemaker, Lydia Tomek, at the helm, Ravine creates sophisticated, rich, and complex wines with a focus on merlot, cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon, chardonnay, and riesling. In the vineyards, Ravine employs biodynamic and organic principles which enhance the wine's quality and character. From crisp whites to robust reds and exquisite sparkling wines, each bottle offers a narrative about terroir and the vineyard's unique site at the highest point on the St. Davids Bench.
Here is a glimpse at a few of the stunning wines that are included in our March Wine Club boxes.
Rated 90 points by wine expert, Tony Aspler, this New Zealand-style sauvignon blanc has a bouquet of passionfruit and green herbs leading to flavours of melon and fig. Enjoy alongside oysters with cucumber and mint or avocado and pesto toast.
This crisp and well-balanced riesling has lovely aromas of golden delicious apple, lemon, and honey with notes of pear, lime, and a touch of stone fruit on the palate. Try it with tarte flambée or sausage and broccoli risotto.

Aged for 19 months in French oak, this firmly structured blend of cabernet franc and merlot has notes of cassis, black tea, savoury green herbs, and a hint of pepper spice. Rated 90 – 92 points by Tony Aspler, this savoury red pairs well with green lentil curry or black olive-crusted venison.
2021 Merlot
This elegant, medium-bodied red has plum, blackberry, licorice, and black pepper on the nose and palate. Rated 90 – 91 points, it has firm tannins and solid structure. Enjoy it with pulled pork sandwiches or pan-seared ribeye with miso butter.
