History

Norman Hardie Winery is situated in Prince Edward County, Canada, and was opened in 2004 by winemaker and owner Norman Hardie. Since his inaugural vintage in 2004, Norm's wines have received accolades from leading international wine critics. His 2013 County Chardonnay was selected by Matt Kramer among his "Three Most Exciting Wines of the 21st Century". The winery's approach has been low-intervention since 2004, using natural yeasts, full lees contact, and an extended two-year elèvage for Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays. Norman Hardie has chosen select sites in Prince Edward County and Niagara with a combination of clay and limestone.
