FLAT ROCK CELLARS
South African-born winemaker
Marlize Beyers brings to Flat Rock
Cellars an unwavering dedication to
quality. Her philosophy starts with
the simple mantra, to make great
wine you must start with great grapes.
Flat Rock focuses on the three varieties
(Chardonnay, Riesling and
Pinot Noir) that are best suited to
their vineyards and tailors their
vineyard management to the specific
needs of those varieties. Beyers’
award-winning wines have proven
that with this kind of attention to
detail in the vineyards, Ontario can
produce some of the best quality
grapes in the world.
“As winemaker I need to constantly learn.
Every harvest brings its unique challenges,
and this is what I love about winemaking.”

Flavours of fresh herbs and green apple are balanced by a rich mouth-feel and a hint of mild oak. These elements, coupled with mouth-watering acidity make this classic, cool-climate Chardonnay an ideal food wine. Try pairing it with rich fish dishes like poached salmon with a creamy herb aioli. It is also an excellent example of Ontario's ability to produce good-value-for-the-money Chardonnays.
