Tantalus Vineyards - Riesling 2024
The 2024 vintage will go down as one of the most challenging—yet most innovative—in the winery’s 20-year history. Faced with the crop loss at the home estate, like so many producers in the region, they had to rethink the season. Rather than seeing it as a setback, they dove in to the opportunity to explore and collaborate with winegrowing colleagues in two exceptional cool-climate regions.
For Riesling, they partnered with two phenomenal growers in Ontario: Paul Franciosa at Grimsby Hillside and Mark Picone at his namesake vineyard, nestled geographically just next door. Both sites were planted to the same Riesling clones in the ground at Tantalus: Weis 21B, with remarkably different terroir that they were thrilled to see evolve in the cellar.
