This year’s cold snap on Nov. 11 prompted three Niagara wineries to take advantage of the earliest harvest on record

This year’s cold snap on Nov. 11 prompted three Niagara wineries – Cave Spring Vineyard, Reif Winery and Southbrook Vineyards – to take advantage of the earliest harvest on record.Icewine has been commercially produced in the Niagara region since the early 1980s. With the ideal conditions to reliably craft the honeyed sweet wine year after year, Ontario has become one of the world’s leading producers.

This year’s cold snap on Nov. 11 prompted three Niagara wineries – Cave Spring Vineyard, Reif Winery and Southbrook Vineyards – to take advantage of the earliest harvest on record. The previous record was Nov. 19, 2014. Last year’s harvest started Nov. 21. Most growers and wineries know in advance that they’re making icewine, so they often register well before Nov. 15. Viticulturist and oenologist Gabriel Demarco explains that Cave Spring filed the necessary paperwork more than three weeks ago but had yet to put their nets out to protect the icewine crop from being devoured by birds.
