2022 Marynissen "Platinum Series" Riesling | 91pts

Also 94pts Natalie Maclean

This wine sits completely on the other side of the spectrum from the 2024 Picone Vineyard Riesling.

While the Picone bottling is soft and gently sweet, the Platinum Series is laser-focused. It’s energetic, directional, and driven by mouth-watering acidity. Bone dry, with just 1 gram of residual sugar. The fruit comes from a star-studded lineup of vineyards across Niagara: Grimsby Hillside, Picone Vineyard, the Marynissen Estate, and Hanck Vineyard.

On the nose, you’ll find wildflower and intense citrus — lime, lemon, and grapefruit — all well integrated around a core of graphite, seashell, and flinty minerality.

The palate reflects the nose beautifully: flint, lemon, lime, and a touch of pear, with some lees aging that adds texture through the mid-palate and into the finish. a very spectacular finish, that lingers for a very long time.

This is a Riesling that still benefits from a little more time in the cellar. It’s slightly austere right now, but very much true to its style and already showing great potential.

A serious, mineral-driven Niagara Riesling that’s absolutely worth getting your hands on.(Carl Boucher, March 12, 2026).
