Our Wine Production
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.
Built with our future in mind, this space was designed with superior quality and sustainability. It showcases the commitment to preserving natural resources while offering premium winemaking and viticulture.
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.
Additionally, we have introduced concrete eggs manufactured in Sonoma. These are a favorite tank for fermentation of the Rose wine, Pinot Gris, and Chardonnay. The concrete is less porous than the French concrete, allowing it to lock in all the beautiful and refined aromatics of Rose and white wines. The shape of the egg creates a natural convection movement during the fermentation process.
