20 BEES

GROWERS' RED

In a little shop in the Niagara Peninsula, a group of the region’s finest grape growers gathered to make plans for their own winery.

Their goal was simple: To nurture their vines, harvest their grapes, and produce great-tasting, unpretentious wines at an unpretentious price. 20 Bees is the fruit of their labour. A wonderful wine created from the soil to the glass by 19 growers and 1 chief winemaker:

The wine underwent malo lactic fermentation to increase complexity and round out the fruit flavours. Almost every "Bee" contributed to this unique blend.
