Corey and Lena Mio started Mio Vineyard from scratch in 2019, planting at the foot of the Niagara Escarpment in Lincoln Lakeshore.
They are growers first, obsessed with exploring Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc through different clones, including 14 Chardonnay clones from France, Italy and California.
Their wines are made at Collab alongside Jeff Moote and the team, combining meticulous work in the vineyard with minimal intervention in the cellar.
Here’s what struck me: these are tiny-production, vineyard-driven wines with tremendous personality, yet the prices are almost impossible to understand.
The $35 Chardonnay is a buy-by-the-case wine, while the single-barrel Primo delivers Premier Cru-level precision and complexity.
Now is your chance to discover Mio Vineyard before other wine collectors buy them out before release each year! With only 50 cases of Chardonnay and a handful of Primo bottles available, you’ll need to act quickly.
