Southbrook Vineyards Information

Southbrook’s harmonious relationship to the land is passionately revealed through every aspect of our operations, and in the quality of our wines. Our LEED® Gold-certified hospitality building celebrates the vines that surround it. But the full expression of Southbrook’s philosophy is our biodynamic, organic vineyard and winery. From these, Southbrook produces fine age-worthy wines, most notably Cabernet Sauvignon, classic Bordeaux blends and Chardonnays. Great wine. Our pursuit of this ideal has shown us the importance of organic and biodynamic viticulture. It has instilled in us a respect for the soil, water and ecosystems upon which great wine, and our planet, relies. From the beginning, we sought to provide a good example of what is possible in Ontario, and to pursue certification to back it up. So went the thinking behind our vision for Southbrook Vineyards. The soil beneath our feet was perfect for the vines we wished to cultivate. Better still, it had lain fallow for countless years before planting, thereby offering the clean slate we’d hoped for. Thus did Southbrook set out to prove that biodynamic, organic and other green initiatives can work in an Ontario vineyard. Our certifications include: Demeter, Pro-Cert Organic, LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), Sustainable Winemaking Ontario, LFP (Local Food Plus), VQA (Vintners Quality Alliance) for grape wines, and QC (Quality Certified) for fruit wines.
