South River Vineyard is a 45-acre vineyard
estate that straddles South River Road.
The farm is planted
to 30 acres of premium vineyards that include Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio,
Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah.
For generations, Lake Erie fruit farmers have prized farmland with a view of the Lake for its
frost-free springs and long growing season.
|
|
In the fall of 1998, the old concord vineyards that covered the farm were bulldozed and
the land was leveled and drained and prepared for new, premium vines.
Since then we have filled South River with 25 miles of vineyard
lanes. At harvest each year, fruit is sorted and graded with only the ripest fraction being
saved for winemaking at South River. The balance is trucked off to other wineries within the
Grand River Valley.
