The depth of this wine was structured by the warm growing season then cool autumn. We believe this is the best Gamay we have made to date! This is a new terroir for us at Leaning Post with grapes from the Four Mile Creek Appellation...
A blend of fruit from 4 different Vineyards from 4 different sub-appellations, this wine explodes out of the glass with wonderful mulberry, cherry kirsch, pomegranate, and raspberry followed closely by dried basil and tarragon, layered over mushroom and tobacco leaf. The balance and ripeness of...
A blend of fruit from 3 different vineyards from the best appellations across Niagara, the 2023 Pinot Noir is the epitome of the Leaning Post style. This wine combines classic “P(inot)-funk” flavours of cherry, blackberry, and raspberry with beet root, earth, leaves and fresh potting...
An amazing growing season has given us a stunning debut for this vineyard! The density, intense body and structure of this wine are stunning. While some of the warmth and richness of the vintage is present, the acidity, and earthy components are still brought forward...
A big and ripe year that is still balanced, 2020 is the unicorn vintage! The density, intense body and structure of this wine are stunning. The warmth and richness of the vintage is present, however the acidity, and earthy components are still brought forward by...
This wine shows incredible density and purity of fruit. Layers of black and red cherry, pomegranate, and sugar-beets layer over a rocky/stony character very distinct from both the Clone 777 and “Senchuk Vineyard” (all 3 clones) wines. Overall, these clones lean into more kirsch, rose-petal,...

This is our first (and possibly only!?) vintage of Petit Verdot, with the majority of the fruit coming from Grimsby Hillside Vineyard. What an amazing cacophony of fruit and floral on the nose! Mulberry, plum and blackberry hit your senses immediately, followed quickly by lilac,...
What can be said about 2020 that hasn’t already been said? Vintage of the decade? For Syrah, definitely. Is this the best Syrah we have ever made? Possibly… This long awaited Syrah bursts forth with black cherry, blackberry, white and pink pepper, pancetta, leather, chocolate...
This wine leaps out of the glass, with a big nose of blackberry, mulberry, inkwell, cocao, white pepper and baking spices. A full and rich palate with real density and power shows blackberry, raspberry, and fig with leather, cocoa, nutmeg and smoked fennel-sausage providing a...
Tasting Notes Nose: Lovely aromas of wild blueberries, leather, and moss Palate: The palate takes you on a journey down the forest path by a lake in the Canadian Shield on a cool autumn evening, stopping to pick some wild-blueberries and noticing a light background of freshly...
