Niagara
Niagara is a white grape variety primarily grown in the Niagara Peninsula of Canada, particularly known for its role in producing sweet and aromatic wines. It is a hybrid grape, developed in the mid-20th century by crossing Concord with a Vinifera variety. Niagara wines are celebrated for their intense aromas of grapey Muscat-like notes, along with flavors of tropical fruits such as pineapple and mango. They are typically made in a sweeter style, often as late-harvest or ice wines, taking advantage of the region’s cold winters to concentrate sugars and flavors in the grapes. What makes Niagara unique is its ability to thrive in cooler climates while still achieving high levels of ripeness, crucial for producing balanced and lusciously sweet wines. These wines are enjoyed as dessert wines or paired with blue cheeses, fruit-based desserts, or enjoyed on their own as a refreshing treat.
