2024 Marynissen "Picone Vineyard" Riesling | 🔥92pts

This single-vineyard Riesling comes from the Picone Vineyard, a fantastic source of fruit in Niagara, especially for Riesling. The vineyard is located in the Vinemount Ridge sub-appellation, near Sue-Ann Staff Winery.

What stands out immediately is the texture and balance. There’s a beautiful harmony between gentle sweetness and bright acidity, but the best attribute of this wine is just how easy it is to drink. Absolutely delicious.

On the nose you’ll find floral notes, plenty of peach and white peach, ripe apricot, yellow poached apple, and even a hint of star fruit.

On the palate, green apple sits right at the center, surrounded by white peach, yellow apple, tangerine and a touch of tropical fruit. And the finish is what really seals it for me: a subtle flinty note, that classic Niagara mineral edge that adds complexity while keeping the wine incredibly approachable.

Fantastic value and a really enjoyable Riesling. (Carl Boucher, March 12, 2026).
