Factors
Ownership
100.0 reportedCA 100%
The vendor's About page says Paul, Matthew, and Daniel Speck became the winery's owners in 1993 and describes each as a co-owner, and the company directory lists the three brothers as president and senior vice presidents. Corporations Canada returned zero results for the name, which points to an Ontario corporation, but the Ontario Business Registry could not be queried and the legal entity name is not stated on the site, so ownership rests on the vendor's own statements.

Inputs
91.0 inferredCA 85% · EU 10% · other 5%
Grapes, the main input, are grown on the estate's own Short Hills Bench vineyard and all wines are VQA, so the fruit is Ontario grown. The vendor mentions French oak barrels, and the origin of glass and closures is not published, so the EU and OTHER shares are an estimate. The online store runs on Shopify, but the winery also sells through its own retail store and the LCBO.
