Representative Biography

Adam Lowy, President

Adam Lowy’s deep interest in wine led him to seventeen great years selling wines from around the world for a Toronto based agency. During this time, he worked with many great wineries and travelled to most of the classic wine regions. Always tasting and learning, he refined his knowledge and passion for wine and developed a particular love for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. After years of dreaming about the winery side of the business and impressed with the ever-increasing quality of wines coming out of Niagara, Adam made the leap and founded Cloudsley Cellars in 2015. With its focus on cool climate, terroir driven wines, Cloudsley is the perfect expression of what Adam has come to love about wine.

Why We're Cool

It is our goal to make Chardonnay in a style that reflects the regional character as well as the specific terrors in which we work. This means letting the fruit dictate the character of the wines. In our case, this leads us to wines that are focused and vibrant, emphasizing elegance over power. Our winemaking is quite traditional with minimal intervention. We rely only on natural yeast for our fermentations which take place in French oak barrels (less than 25% new).
