100 Marks Wines gave my wife Kimberly and me a chance to express our passion for winemaking, and collaborate with new friends in the quickly changing landscape of Niagara’s Wine industry. The story of 100 Marks Wines simply starts with a meeting with 2 Niagara grape growers. I never expected this meeting would eventually evolve into the creation of my first virtual winery.

100 Marks Wines is produced at our “Host winery” at Marynissen Estate Winery, where I have spent the last 5 years as head winemaker. Having a working winery provided me with the freedom to create this new project, while exploring and strengthening my winemaking skills. The 2010 vintage produced approximately 250 cases of premium Pinot Noir. This was aged in New American Oak for 15 months, and naturally settled afterwards without fining or filtering, to allow to the fullest expression of the wine to come through.

In addition to our 2010 Red wine, we are equally excited to release our very first White wine in the portfolio, a White Merlot, in the spring 2012. This white wine is a creative take on Merlot, making the wine in a “blanc de Noir” style. Golden hue in colour, it retains the desired qualities of a white wine; aromatic fruit and crisp acidity with a touch of residual sugar, but giving the body and mouthfeel of a red wine. The 2011 100 Marks White comes from a small plot of Merlot which John Marynissen planted in 1978. This wine is unique to Niagara, and will lend itself to a variety of food and occasions. Enjoy!
