MALIVOIRE WINE COMPANY

MOUNTAIN ROAD WINE COMPANY

Innovation has been key to Martin Malivoire's success since he
purchased prime vineyard acreage on the Beamsville Bench in 1995.
This first-in-Ontario gravity-flow winery is an elaborately recycled
Quonset hut built in 1998. Winemaker Shiraz Mottiar focuses on excellence
in cool-climate varieties including Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris,
as well as Rosé, sparkling wine, the popular "Guilty Men" red and white
blends and outstanding Gamays.

The original vineyard for this Beamsville Bench winery was planted in
1983 with Chardonnay, Gamay Noir and Vidal Blanc, and since then
other grape varieties have been added to the Steve Kocsis family farm.
Sustainable agriculture practices and thoughtful aging processes speak to
a traditional focus. Terroir-driven wines made by Steve Kocsis are crafted
from 30-year-old vines.
