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.
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 2023
THE FARM Chardonnay comes from the Twenty Mile Bench and Creekshores sub-appellations. The combination of limestone-based silty soils from the escarpment and sedimentary glacial deposits of the Iroquois Plain creates a richly textured wine, balanced by stony minerality and vibrant acidity. Hand-picked grapes were whole cluster pressed and fermented spontaneously at cool temperatures in French oak puncheons and stainless steel. The wine underwent full malolactic fermentation, then aged on lees for 10 months before blending. It was bottled unfiltered in The Farm cellar.
THE FARM Poolhouse Rosé 2024
THE FARM, Poolhouse Rose, is made from 100% Gamay grown in the Creekshores sub-appellation. The grapes were picked in the cool, early morning hours and macerated on skins for 5 hours before gentle pressing. The juice was clarified to preserve its aromatic potential and fermented in stainless to highlight its natural varietal characteristics. Fermented bone dry to showcase a balanced mouthwatering acidity with an array of red fruit and citrus aromatics.
THE FARM Pinot Noir Black label 2023

Our Black Label benefitted from the grower’s dedication to provide quality fruit in this blend, showcasing brambly red fruits, black cherry, dried herbs with a savory, flinty edge.
