Our Wines
Freedom Run Winery is committed to celebrating wine as a true form of art. Inspired by the beauty and history of our vineyard on the bench of the Niagara Escarpment, the Manning Family believe that the sites, sounds, and flavors of this area should be enjoyed by all who visit looking for wines with a sense of place. Our love of art and freedom of expression fuels our passionate dedication to making artisan wines that reflect our belief that everything we do affects wine quality.
The winery has developed a reputation for producing world class wines. Its success is built on quality, consistency, and characteristics of the Niagara Escarpment. We pick in small lots and maintain the identity of those lots through destemming/crushing, fermentations, and aging. These distinct lots provide the winemaking team with a rich palette from which to construct each blend. Our oak program involves deciding the right time to introduce new, French and Hungarian oak as well as over fifty used bourbon barrels. This helps us preserve the integrity and flavors of the fruit.

Estate Seanpenoise
2021 Estate Chardonnay
The grapes for this Chardonnay were grown along the Niagara Escarpment. This complex aromatic white wine reveals subtle aromas of tangerine and peach. Its soft and silky texture is reminiscent of créme fraîche, making it an idea pairing with light fare including seafood, poultry, cheese and a wide range of foods. RS 0% ~ Alcohol 12.00% ~ 750 mL
The grapes for this Chardonnay were hand-harvested on the bench of the Niagara Escarpment where the heavier clay soils contribute to its concentrated flavors.

RS 0% ~ Alcohol 12.50% ~ 750 mL
