Tucked amidst the vineyards in Neustadt, Germany, stands Klaus&#8217; family home, where his childhood was spent learning the trade of winemaking.<\/p>\n<p>In 1978, Klaus traveled to Canada and fell in love with the scenic beauty of Niagara and was captivated by the potential of these fertile lands.<\/p>\n<p>The following year Klaus enrolled in a specialized business school and then in 1984 applied to one of Germany&#8217;s most prestigious winemaking schools, the Geisenheim Institute. Two weeks after graduating with degrees in Viticulture and Oenology, Klaus immigrated to Niagara-on-the-Lake.<\/p>\n<p>In 1987, he took the reins of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reifwinery.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Reif Estate Winery<\/strong><\/a> from his Uncle Ewald. By adopting the philosophy that &#8220;great wines start in the vineyard&#8221;, Klaus focused on creating small batches of exceptional wine; a fundamental element to his continued successes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nataliemaclean.com\/wine-reviews\/reif-estate-winery-riesling-2015\/252539\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-35105 noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-35105\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nataliemaclean.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Reif-Estate-Winery-Riesling-2015.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"53\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nataliemaclean.com\/wine-reviews\/reif-estate-winery-riesling-2015\/252539\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Reif Estate Winery Riesling 2015<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nNiagara-On-The-Lake, Ontario VQA, Canada<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nataliemaclean.com\/blog\/reif-winery-niagara-ontario-wine\/reif-estate-winery-3\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-34738\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-34738\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nataliemaclean.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Reif-Estate-Winery.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"630\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nataliemaclean.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Reif-Estate-Winery.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.nataliemaclean.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Reif-Estate-Winery-300x244.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>By Greg Hughes<\/p>\n<p>Nestled alongside the Niagara River is a winery that those acquainted with Niagara willrecognize.

This gives Reif a continuity in perspective absent from wineries where winemakers change frequently.<\/p>\n<p>When speaking about Niagara terroir, Roberto agrees that Cabernet Franc, and the aromatic varietals, and Pinot Noir do well.<\/p>\n<p>However, he and his team enjoy making Cabernet Sauvignon. Cab Sauv sometimes has difficulty across Niagara with ripening under typical season length.<\/p>\n<p>He sees the pocket of land that Reif occupies as unique due to its soft, reddish soil and moderate temperature created by the nearby Niagara River.<\/p>\n<p>His wine makes a compelling argument.<\/p>\n<p>His Cabs offer plenty ripe red and black fruit. There&#8217;s a signature dried cherry and cranberry note on all of the Cabs I adore.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nataliemaclean.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/20160728_174832_HDR_resized-e1476639606343.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-29534 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nataliemaclean.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/20160728_174832_HDR_resized-e1476639606343-169x300.jpg\" alt=\"20160728_174832_hdr_resized\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nataliemaclean.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/20160728_174832_HDR_resized-e1476639606343-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/www.nataliemaclean.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/20160728_174832_HDR_resized-e1476639606343-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nataliemaclean.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/20160728_174832_HDR_resized-e1476639606343-576x1024.jpg 576w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 169px) 100vw, 169px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A visit to any wine region is incomplete without a bit of &#8220;age-chasing.&#8221; There are always wines held back from release on the open market and sometimes these gems can be quite old, and found only in the winery&#8217;s wine library.<\/p>\n<p>Niagara has not been producing appellation-controlled wines for very long. Few mature Niagara wines exist to answer the question, &#8220;How do Niagara&#8217;s wines age?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This is one of the oldest continually operating quality wineries in Niagara &#8211; showing us what kind of potential our local wines have.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Visit Reif, and perhaps you&#8217;ll have the luck to try some old Bordelais varietals or some exquisitely preserved icewines that reach back ten years or more.<\/p>\n<p>Roberto explains that he loves the taste of aged icewine &#8211; especially Vidal.
