Staff will point out the building methods, evolution of the barn, and architectural features. At the same time, enjoy a five-flight wine tasting with small food pairings as you explore each room. Farm artifacts, antique equipment, and furnishings will also be on display.

Karlo has become famous for its Tasting Experience held in and around the welcoming atmosphere of an 1805 barn.

When you come in for a tasting, plan to take home some bottles. We sell out of every one of our 21 different wines every year, so we do not sell our wines at the LCBO.

The Old Third
The Old Third Winery
About
We are a small, high density vineyard and winery in the heart of Prince Edward County.
We produce unfined and unfiltered pinot noir, cabernet franc and chardonnay.
We also make a traditional method sparkling cider from local, golden russet apples. Nice and dry with beautiful, tiny bubbles.
Take a look around. Send us an email or give us a call if you have any questions. https://www.theoldthird.com/
Dry Cider. Traditional Method. Local apples.
Golden russets are one of only a few apples capable of making single varietal cider. Along with the kingston black, it has near perfect sugar, acid and tannin. The juice has a vinifera-like quality, that during fermentation makes you almost forget it is not from grapes. This is not a cider that tastes oxidized. Indeed, the ripe, full tannins in these apples protected the cider from the yellowing ravages of oxidation. The natural sugar level of these apples was so high that the cider tops the alcohol scale at 9.5%.
Our sparkling apple cider is made with the same level of attention and detail that goes into our pinot noir. The apples, non other than the noble golden russet, were sourced from a nearby apple orchard. They were hand sorted and the cider is méthod traditional, so the second ferment was in bottle. Like our sparkling pinot noir this cider is hand riddled, hand disgorged and topped with a natural cork.

Prince Edward County VQA Wines
We believe that the art of wine is elevated from product to craft by careful attention to all aspects of the viticulture and winemaking process: choice of land, selection of varietals, clones, rootstocks, pruning, cropping, hang time, press method, barrels, time in oak, blending and bottle aging. It's the attention to detail during every step of the process that allows us to produce the best VQA Prince Edward County wine possible.
For a limited time only: Buy 6 bottles or more and get free shipping in Ontario.
Prince Edward County
Wine Appellations of Ontario
https://www.vqaontario.ca/Appellations/PrinceEdwardCounty
PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY APPELLATION
Officially identified in 2007 as a VQA appellation of origin, Prince Edward County is separated from the mainland by the Bay of Quinte at Belleville and is completely surrounded by the waters of Lake Ontario. The soils and microclimates of the County coupled with the all-pervading limestone base provide an ideal growing environment for cool-climate grapes such as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. This idyllic island setting is now home to over 40 wineries, a dozen craft breweries, fine restaurants, cheese producers, farmers’ markets and other local food purveyors dotted along the natural beauty of the County trails and beaches.
Terroir
Topography
The topopraphy of Prince Edward County is irregular with deep valleys digging into the broad flat Trenton limestone that is the foundation of this appellation. A gradual rise from north-east to south-west is crossed by a number of long east-west gentle ridges and occasionally steep rugged escarpments.
On the northern and eastern shorelines high rocky bluffs rise to an elevation of a hundred feet or more while the western shore has many inlets with sandy shores and large sand bars which define bodies of water such as West Lake and East Lake.
Prince Edward County is an appellation full of mesoclimates and terroir conditions that provide the basis for the distinct in the wines that are produced here
Soil
Soils throughout this appellation are mostly reddish-brown clay loam to sandy loam that overlay a limestone bedrock embedded with shale fragments. The stony surface and numerous rock and shale fragments within the soils allow water to drain into the limestone, which ensures good drainage of winter-melt and substantial root penetration for mature vines. This rocky soil also allows good heat conduction and retention and encourages early warming in the spring.
Climate
Most vineyards in this appellation are located in areas that receive maximum benefit from lake breezes. Prevailing southwesterly breezes travel steadily across the Bay of Quinte which moderate temperatures throughout the year and are especially beneficial during the warm summer months, keeping average temperatures around 22 degrees C., with pleasant cooling during the hotter days and keeping cool nights at bay.

Keint-He Winery
Keint - He Winery
HOME
Offering some of the best wines in Ontario, Keint-he produces domestic wines that exhibit European minerality and acidity. The vines are lovingly raised in the limestone rich soils of our three distinct and unique vineyards. Keint-he only focuses on those grape varietals that most effectively showcase the terroir of the region. The result is award winning, terroir-based wines that reflect our standard for quality and the character of the region in which they were produced.
Keint-he Winery & Vineyards, a Burgundian winery right here in Ontario.
At Keint-he our goal is to produce domestic Pinot Noir that has international character. Unlike many grape producers, at Keint-he we like to think of our vineyards as a habitat for our vines. Our Pinot grapes prosper in harmony with their environment, not in spite of it. We’ve applied the Burgundian model of viticulture to the County microclimate. That means that the 28 acres of vines that we have planted now, will never exceed 35 acres. We believe in high density planting. Despite the lower yields, the quality of the fruit translates into wine that is interesting, enjoyable and balanced. We keep our fingers on the vineyards pulse by doing all of our work with the vines by hand. This way each vine, cluster and grape gets the hands on attention that is needed to produce the superior fruit required to make superior wine
THE VINEYARDS
Ever aware of the Burgundian vineyards we are trying to emulate, all of our vineyards were selected based on soil type, topography and sun exposure. These subtle differences are partly responsible for creating fruit that results in wine with superior style and quality. For this reason, we have four distinct satellite vineyards, each with their own unique personalities and characteristics.
Big Lake Vineyard: Big Lake vineyard is located at our winery: 49 Hubbs Creek Rd. This vineyard consists of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Melone de Bourgogne. The terroir is Brighton gravelly sand and 8′ by 3′ spacing. Fronting on Lake Ontario (a Big Lake), the vines benefit from the cool breeze coming off the lake. Planted in 2007.
Little Creek Vineyard: Little Creek is actually made up of two vineyards separated by a small woods and a creek … Little Creek. Both north and south sections are used to grow Pinot Noir.The terroir is Hillier clay loam with 8′ by 3′ plantings on both northern and southern slopes. The vines at Little Creek are the second oldest planting in Prince Edward County (planted in 1997).
Foxtail Vineyard: Foxtail is home to a number of different grape varietals, including Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay, St. Laurent and Pinot Gris. The terroir is Hillier clay loam with 8′ by 3′ spacing. The bulk of these vines were planted in 1999.

Exultet Estates Winery
Winery
With vineyards first planted in 2004 and nurtured on limestone rich soils in view of Lake Ontario, Exultet Estates has managed to produce something special - winning 5 consecutive Golds at the Ontario Wine Awards and twice winning the Lieutenant Governor’s Award for Excellence in Ontario Wines. Soil, climate, and geography come together to produce our extraordinary wines, unique in quality and expression.
Winning Ontario Wine Awards Gold for 5 consecutive years and the Lieutenant Governor’s Awards for Excellence in Ontario Wines twice, Exultet Estates has proven itself to be a cut above the rest. With limited production, single vineyard wines made for those who appreciate the best that the County has to offer, our family owned and operated estate makes the most elegant expressions of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that this land is capable of.
At Exultet Estates, we make wines distinctively from vineyards adjacent to the winery, with huge lake effects from Lake Ontario at the most southerly part of Prince Edward County. The farm’s two hundred year history includes a large dairy operation, cheese making, and orchards. Our objective is true terroir from one distinct place - ours. Let us share that history with you through our wines…
Tastings
Tastings are offered daily in the summer months at our seasonal Tasting Shed located just behind our winery (no appt necessary*) offering outdoor tastings / seating. During low season periods (Jan-Apr / Nov-Dec) tastings are available by appointment in our indoor winery tasting area - please call or email to book a time (drop ins welcome by chance).

Last winter, we were honoured to receive the Employer of the Year award for 2021 from the PEC Excellence in Business Awards. We were thrilled to be nominated again for the same distinction this year. Our commitment to our employees is just as important as our commitment to producing fine wines, and this award was significant to all of us here at Closson Chase.
Stay tuned for more news about our 2022 year; we are thrilled to be planning some exciting online and in-person events and can’t wait to have the garden open, so we can begin showcasing our incredible new vintage of wines.
Thank you for your continued support of all we do here at Closson Chase.
