In 1985, Mario and Nancy Adamo transformed a 28‑room inn north of Toronto into Hockley Valley Resort, embracing a location that truly felt like home. Inspired by the vine‑covered hills of his hometown in Calabria, Italy, Mario envisioned the slopes of Hockley Valley as a place where grapes could thrive. In 2000, the first test vines on a newly purchased 77‑acre property were planted, and by 2015, Adamo Estate Winery was born. Today, this boutique, small‑batch winery boasts over 28,000 vines, farmed with organic and biodynamic principles. Led by winemaker Shauna White, the team crafts terroir‑driven wines that showcase both the character of Hockley Valley and select sites from Niagara’s most renowned vineyards.
Sourced from the Foxcroft Vineyard site, this Chardonnay opens with expressive aromas of honeydew melon and bright citrus, layered with subtle notes of vanilla soft serve from gentle oak aging. A fine mineral thread runs through the bouquet, lending lift and understated complexity.
On the palate, it's round and creamy, with flavours of pineapple core and a hint of lime zest that bring freshness and drive. Balanced by punchy acidity, the wine carries through to a long, citrus-tinged finish, leaving a clean and polished impression.
As a small-batch boutique winery, Adamo Estate uses the best fruit from their estate and some of the top growers in Ontario. They blanket the vines in the winter to protect them from the cold, weed and pick by hand, and crush and bottle on site.
