In 2009 he bought a 33 acre property, which is currently planted with 5 acres of vines \u2013 they plan to plant more. It\u2019s called the Sangreal Estate Vineyard. Winemaking is in the hands of Amelia Keating-Isaksen. This is a new producer to me and I was really impressed with the quality of the wines.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Morandin Wines East Shore Sparkling Brut Nature 2018 Ontario, Canada<\/strong><br \/>\nThis is from the County but is labelled as Ontario.
