About
STRATUS VINEYARDS, established in 2000 and located in the historic town of Niagara-on-the-Lake in Ontario, Canada, is a gravity-flow winery distinguished by its LEED-certified facility, its commitment to sustainability, and wines of outstanding quality. Made from hand-tended grapes grown on the Stratus 53-acre estate and guided by winemaker Jean-Laurent (J-L) Groux, the vineyard’s signature wines, Stratus Red and Stratus White are made in the ‘art of assemblage’. Based on final barrel selection, a limited and dynamic portfolio of varietal wines and Icewines are also released each year. In 2009 Stratus engaged international wine consultant Paul Hobbs to add further dimension and complexity to the already respected and acclaimed wines from the estate.
