RENNIE ESTATE WINERY

RIDGEPOINT WINES

The Rennies are micro-vintners who own one of the oldest vineyard
sites on the Beamsville Bench. Shiraz Mottiar and Graham Rennie
hand-craft site-specific Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to capture and
reflect the unique terroir of the Rennie vineyard and hand-harvest
the Rennies' best Bordeaux varietal fruit to produce rich, full-bodied
and balanced "Super Niagara" wines utilizing a proprietary, natural
Appassimento process.

One of the first sibling winemaking teams in Niagara, Mauro Scarsellone
and Anna Gottardo, is now celebrating 22 years in Niagara. Focusing on
Old World Italian traditions, this duo planted Nebbiolo and Corvina
among their vineyard and is one of a handful of Ontario wineries making
wine in the Appassimento and Ripasso styles. These wines accompany
perfectly their casual Italian food offered in Ridgepoint's restaurant.
