Founded in 1988 by the Speck family, Henry of Pelham has been family
owned and operated for almost 30 years. Brothers Paul, Matthew and
Daniel Speck play up their "sibling rivalry" in popular white and red blends
by the same name, but the portfolio runs much deeper with the iconic
Baco Noir, Rieslings (from maturing vines), Chardonnays, Cuvée Catharine
bubbly and brilliant Icewines all crafted by Sandrine Bourcier.
