WILDASS WINES

Welcome to Wildass Country

Born and raised in the vineyards of Niagara-on-the-Lake, Wildass wines are handcrafted and bottled for enjoyment in select, fun-loving restaurants and homes across this great land.

Wildass grapes are hand picked, gently handled and patiently aged in the new and innovative Stratus winery. The resulting wines are full of personality (just like you) and best enjoyed with a group of Wildass friends!

Wildass wines are available exclusively at your favorite neighborhood restaurants. However, as a result of your enthusiasm and persistence, we have decided to release a limited number of bottles for online purchase. (you stubborn donkeys!)

Six-bottle lots of 2004 Wildass White ($19), 2004 Wildass Red ($19), 2006 Wildass Riesling ($19) and 2006 Wildass Rosé ($19) can be delivered to households across Ontario.

To purchase your six pack of Wildass, please use our online order form.

Once we receive your order we will contact you with an approximate shipping date, delivery fee and invoice total.


Bottle of Wildass White

2004 Wildass White

This is the Wildass-emblage we've all been waiting for! A taste sensation that is sure to please even the prickliest of palates, it brings all of the best flavours of Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, and Riesling in one delicious and, dare we say, slightly cheeky package. Rich, ripe and round, the exotic tropical notes and creamy, melt-in-your-mouth palate will have you asking for a second scoop...er, glass! Enjoy with fresh-shucked oysters, citrus scented cous-cous salads, and a selection of creamy cheeses. $19/btl (Sold out)

Bottle of Wildass Red

2004 Wildass Red

Big, bold, and beautiful! Cabernet/Merlot with a hint of Gamay to keep it real! The standards for the donkey are as high as ever. Barrel-aged on the lees for over 600 days in ze best frensch barriques, after which each individual variety was carefully introduced to the others to ensure compatibility and harmony. Please...spare us the new-age hand-holding! Ripe blackberry and raspberry aromas, pepper and spicy complexity, give way to smooth tannins and a firm, balanced finish. Cellar potential: Put it in the barn for a few years and walk away or drink now and ‘fire up the bbq...this is the perfect wine for meatapalooza.’ $19/btl (Sold out)

Bottle of Wildass Riesling

2006 Wildass Riesling

This fine wine was crafted from select parcels of older vines from the Niagara Peninsula. Every care was taken to ensure that the fruit was minimally handled from the moment it entered the winery right up to bottling. A refreshing complex dry wine redolent with flavours of citrus, tropical fruit and of course the stony soils of Niagara. Drink with charcuterie, choucroute and onion tart. Cellar through 2015.

Translation: This is really, really delicious Riesling! $19/ btl (Order online)

Bottle of Wildass Rosé

2006 Wildass Rosé

La Donkey en Rosé! This is perhaps the heartiest bottle of Rosé wine you will ever meet. In theory this should be a dry, refreshing, fruity wine, with pale flavours of strawberry, raspberries, and peppery spice. In reality, it is more like that of a light red wine with delicate tannins and explosive red berry fruit. Made predominantly from Gamay with a hint of barrel ageing, this is a wine to be enjoyed chilled all summer long and served with just about everything.

Here is a suggestion—try this wine with the Duck Confit, Boudin Blanc & Haricot Vert that Chef de Cuisine Basilio Pesce is serving up on the beautiful patio at Biff’s on Front street. $19/ btl (Order online)
