THE FARM WINES
THE FARM is a 10-acre vineyard in Niagara’s Twenty Mile Bench, planted to Pinot Noir. The Neudorf vineyard was originally planted with Pinot Noir in 2000 for Le Clos Jordanne and aptly named “La Petite Colline”, meaning “little hill”, a nod to the gentle slopes that permeate the plot. The project was led by renowned winemaker, Thomas Bachelder, now a close friend of the Neudorf family. The vineyard was farmed organically from the get-go, a decision that remains a pillar of the Neudorf approach.
The property is rooted in traditions of gathering family & friends, and where Peter and Dora Neudorf call home .
The cellar door opens once a year for guests to taste new releases, and enjoy live music and local food.
Our cellar door opening is fully booked for 2023. We thank everyone for their interest and ongoing support.
This wine comes from the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe peoples, and is an acknowledgment and reminder that our great standard of living is directly related to the resources and friendship of Indigenous people.

THE FARM Chardonnay 2022
Made from hand picked Chardonnay from the Beamsville Bench where the soil is rich in limestone. Pressed whole cluster, wild fermented, aged in 50% stainless tanks and 50% French oak Puncheons (500L barrels) for 16 months. During ageing the wine completed Malolactic fermentation and was blended and bottled unfiltered in the farm cellar. From the bottle we are tasting a Chardonnay that is steely and mineral driven with notes of pear and a structured acidity with length on the finish.
THE FARM Poolhouse Rosé 2023
This Rosé is made from Gamay grown in Lincoln Lakeshore where the soils are rich in clay and high in minerals. We macerated the grapes on skins for 12 hours before gently pressing into a stainless tank where we started with a slow cold wild ferment, which harnessed the vibrant, dark fruit characters and bright acidity. Fermented dry and bottled shortly after.
THE FARM Pinot Noir Black label 2022
Made from a blend of Pinot Noir from select vineyards across Niagara. After fermentation, the wine was aged in French Oak Burgundy barrels (228L) for 14 months. This particular vintage we were given ideal weather conditions during ripening and at harvest with warm sunny days and cool nights. This is translated through the glass as we find our Black Label has firm structured tannins with notes of dark cherries and earthy undertones. Blended and bottled unfiltered in The Farm cellar.
THE FARM End of the Road Pinot Noir 2021
This is a single vineyard Pinot Noir from the Twenty Mile Bench. The land is marked by a complex array of slopes, steep V-shaped valleys, and a series of well-developed terraces. The soils, laid down by passing glaciers are deep clay and till, with a high proportion of limestone and shale. The wine was aged in French Oak Burgundy Barrels for 12 months, blended and bottled unfiltered in The Farm cellar.
