Introduction
Henry of Pelham is a prominent family-owned winery located on the Short Hills Bench in the Niagara Peninsula, Ontario. They are recognized for a diverse range of rosé wines, spanning from easy-drinking table wines to high-end, traditional-method sparkling releases. As of late 2025, the estate continues to be a leader in the region, recently being named the #1 Winery in Ontario by National Wine Awards.
Wine Description
This is the estate’s signature "Classic" series rosé, known for its consistency and crisp, dry style. The 2024 vintage, released in early 2025, benefitted from a warm harvest with well-timed rain.
Varietal Composition: A blend primarily featuring Gamay Noir, Zweigelt, and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Aromatic Profile: The nose is defined by delicate scents of rose petals and vibrant aromas of fresh-picked cherries and raspberries.
Palate and Body: It is a refreshing, dry, and light-bodied wine. The palate offers flavors of cherries, tart cranberry, and elderflower.
Structure: It maintains a crisp energy with moderate acidity and a clean finish.
Winemaking: The grapes receive approximately 3 hours of skin contact to achieve its vibrant pink color and are fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel to preserve fruit delicacy.
