Konzelmann Estate Winery, Niagara’s Exclusive Lakefront Winery, was established in Canada in 1984. Herbert Konzelmann, the great-grandson of German winemaker, Friedrich Konzelmann, chose the site on the shores of Lake Ontario because of the micro-climate, where the wonderful balance of sun, soil, airflow and moisture conditions are ideal for the production of premium quality wines.

The protection provided by the nearby Niagara Escarpment, combined with the moderating influence of the lake, provides a longer growing period for the ‘noble’ Vitis Vinifera vines of Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Chardonnay grapes.
