#5 - Creating Vintage Integrity with Doug Mackenzie - Rosewood Estates Winery - Neptune Riesling

Season 1 · Episode 5

Friday, September 19, 2025 • Duration 46:32

What kinds of challenges do you face with winemaking in Niagara?
How do you create a wine with vintage integrity?

We answer these questions and more with Doug Mackenzie, head winemaker at Rosewood Estates Winery in Niagara, Ontario, Canada.

Located about an hour and a half south of Toronto on the southern end of Lake Ontario, Rosewood Estates Winery is not only a winery, but a meadery, apiary and a restaurant. With beehives, an estate vegetable and herb garden, and, of course, lots of vines, Rosewood makes their own honey, mead, and kitchen creations from scratch while keeping sustainability and authenticity at the forefront of what they do.

Doug shares his journey into wine-making, how they craft wines that reflect each unique and varied Niagara vintage, the challenges of growing grapes and making wine in Niagara, and more in our discussion.

During our discussion we discussed Doug’s favorite wines, the Rosé Charmat and the Neptune Riesling.

#4.J - クロッソン・チェイス - Vineyard ピノ・ノワール

Season 1 · Episode 4

Sunday, September 14, 2025 • Duration 54:00

「テロワールを表現するワインは、どうやって造るのか？」

「細部にこだわりながら、ワインに干渉しすぎないためには？」

今回は、カナダ・オンタリオ州プリンス・エドワード・カウンティにあるClosson Chase（クロッソン・チェイス）の醸造責任者キース・タイヤーズ氏とアシスタントワインメーカーのブレイドン・スカリー氏に、彼らの美しい畑と場所について紹介していただきます。

プリンス・エドワード・カウンティ半島内陸部に位置するClosson Chaseは、前回のNorman Hardie Wineryとは異なるミクロクリマを持ち、より力強く、それでいて独自の土地の個性を感じさせるワインを生み出しています。

英語版のエピソードでは、Closson Chaseの「South Clos」畑でキース氏とブレイドン氏にお話を伺いました。湖から吹き込む午後の強い風が、温かい内陸の畑に届く様子など、この土地ならではの雰囲気が感じられるロケーションです。

収録時には、彼らの「Unoaked Vineyard Chardonnay」と「Vineyard Pinot Noir」をいただきました。どちらも「South Clos」と「Churchside」畑をブレンドしたワインです。

#4 - Expressing Terroir with Keith Tyers & Braydon Scully - Closson Chase - Vineyard Pinot Noir

Season 1 · Episode 4

Sunday, August 31, 2025 • Duration 55:07

How do you make a wine that expresses terroir?
How do you care about the details while not meddling with the wine?

Head winemaker Keith Tyers and assistant winemaker Braydon Scully of Closson Chase in Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada introduce us to the beautiful vineyards and location of Closson Chase. Located inland on the Prince Edward County peninsula, Closson Chase has a different micro-climate from our previous episode at Norman Hardie Winery, resulting in more powerful wines that still express a unique sense of place.

In this episode we talk with Keith and Braydon in the “South Clos” vineyards of Closson Chase where you can really hear the sense of place, a strong afternoon breeze that comes off the lake into the warm inland fields. We apologize for the wind in the recording, but also hope you enjoy the conversation about this special place and the people behind it as much as we did!

During our conversation we shared bottles of their Unoaked Vineyard Chardonnay and their Vineyard Pinot Noir, each blends of their “South Clos” and “Churchside” vineyards.

#6 - Assemblage with Dean Stoyka - Stratus Vineyards - Stratus Red

Season 1 · Episode 6

Friday, October 17, 2025 • Duration 57:46

* How do you create different flavors for blending beyond different grape varieties?

* How do you continue to evolve your winemaking while still respecting tradition?

Located just outside the historic and postcard-esque town of Niagara-on-the-lake, Stratus Vineyards is located just far enough from Lake Ontario to get warmer growing conditions for red varieties during the summer and just close enough to get protection from winter frost.

Stratus vineyards produces wines that showcase the art of assemblage or blending. With over 16 varieties planted to the estate, 10 red and 6 white, this wide array of grape varieties gives Stratus a wide palette of flavor profiles to use in their signature blends.

In this episode we discuss how “kaizen” or constant small improvements have played a role in Stratus better understanding its vineyards, its land, its wine, and improving with each vintage. This is exemplified in the episode’s featured wine, the Stratus red, an evolving blend of red grapes to create a wine of elegance and complexity. Each vintage is different, reflecting Stratus’ latest understanding of its land, its vines, its grapes, the year, and how to best ferment and blend each parcel.

In Japan, find Stratus Vineyards wines at Heavenly Vines:
