about

A vineyard sanctuary, where every bottle tells a story of land, love, and relentless pursuit of the extraordinary.

The idyllic beauty, pastoral environs,  and favourable climate led Maria and Scott Kirby to the Niagara Peninsula in 2017.  Upon visiting Kirby Estate for the first time it was obvious that the former peach farm turned vineyard in the 1990s was a special place - rich soils, bounded by Four Mile Creek on the east and north, and overflowing with tender fruit and nut trees, and a plethora of birds and wildlife.  A story-book styled southern revival residence and weathered barn sit amongst the vines in the center of the property.

The Magic of Four
MilE Creek

The Kirby Estate vineyard comes alive in the embrace of summer's warmth. As May melts into June, our sun-kissed soils awaken, pulling in the lake's whispering breezes like a gentle symphony. This magical dance between land and lake gives way to days soaked in golden sunlight and nights painted with cool serenity.

Testimonials

Wine Reviews

“I nosed coconut oakiness then on the palate I got major tropical notes like guava, mango, even a hint of pineapple surrounded with that perfectly integrated coconut oakiness. Thoroughly enjoyed it. You are certainly doing something right”

Chardonnay

“It shows more concentration on the palate with chalky tannins and melange of earthy dark cherries, black raspberries, cassis, anise, savoury spice notes, cloves and a polished finish that’s finessed and long. An elegant and expressive Merlot that should cellar nicely for the next five years. (93)”

Merlot

"It has a plush, creamy texture with flint and wet stones, ripe stone fruits, some tropical mango/guava, and toasted spice notes with a layered, long and finessed finish that goes on and on. A very fine Chardonnay.(94)"

Chardonnay

"The nose is a bit closed on first sniff, but it opens up with swirling to a nuanced and elegant array of dark cherries, wild black raspberries, dark plums, clove, and toasty vanilla spice. It’s ripe and dense on the palate with a bed of plush tannins, a rich broth of ripe red berries, anise, dusty/firm tannin structure, complexity, layered and long through a lifted finish. Perfectly poised between pretty and powerful with a window of drinking stretching through a decade. (93)"
