Critically acclaimed and distinctly Canadian, Stratus Wines have become a benchmark of quality in Niagara’s vibrant wine scene. Nestled in the heart of wine country, Stratus Vineyards is a sustainable, design-forward winery rooted in low-yield farming, hand-harvesting, and obsessive attention to detail. The vineyard is divided into 35 blocks and planted with 13 grape varieties—from classic Bordeaux to Syrah, Gamay, Chardonnay, and aromatic whites—offering a dynamic range of complexity and style. Its prized clay-loam and gravelly limestone soils add depth and character. Winemaker Dean Stoyka, a Niagara native raised among vines and barrels, now leads the cellar with a passion for innovation, sustainability, and expressive, site-driven wines.
Tropical and orchard fruit aromas are accompanied by warm notes of toast and nuts. Zestful flavors of citrus, fresh lime and apple are balanced with the toast, almond and coconut cream notes for a beautiful finish. Full-flavored and delicious, it’s diffused, milky yellow opalescence only adds to its charm.
