Drea’s single vineyard, small batch, low intervention wines are crafted in Niagara-on-the-Lake by Andrea Kaiser, daughter of world-renowned winemaker Karl J. Kaiser who co-founded Inniskillin Wines. As a visionary pioneer, his contributions to modern Canadian winemaking cannot be understated. She closely follows the tenants of her father’s winemaking philosophies with a focus on natural fruit flavours and aromas, making bone dry wines that are well balanced with a bright acidity. The wines in her collection are an expression of his legacy and are dedicated to her father, who affectionately called her ‘Drea’.

Since being released, her wines have taken the wine world by storm, receiving International Critical Acclaim including her Sauvignon Blanc being marked as distinguished by renowned wine writer Jancis Robinson. Her wines are regularly recognized at the International Wine Challenge and TEXSOM and served around the world including the Canadian Embassies in NYC, London and Washington D.C. Her Rosato was named as one of ‘the top Canadian Rosés to try’ by Decanter Magazine and her Dornfelder was listed at one of Canada’s first Michelin Star Restaurants.

“This wine has soft vanilla notes and a gracious acidity with signature fruit flavours of black currant and an elegant savoury mouthwatering finish. My favourite pairing is with my father’s version of ‘Sooke Harbour House’ Ontario rack of lamb seasoned with Keen’s dry mustard, dried mint, coarse salt and fresh ground pepper. A tribute to my father’s love of Cabernet Franc, but also his legacy in education and mentorship; and so a portion of proceeds from wine sales are donated to the Karl J. Kaiser Memorial Fund at Brock University, from where he graduated, taught and helped build and foster the Cool Climate Oenology and Viticulture Institute.”
