St. David's Bench lies 10 km south of the shore of Lake Ontario and several metres above the Lake Iroquois Plain. This bench, formed when glaciers carved out the Niagara Escarpment, rises from the historic shoreline of Lake Iroquois towards the base of the escarpment. It produces mainly red grape varieties such as Syrah, Pinot Noir, Merlot, but also Chardonnay.
