Vintages New Release – September 13, 2025

Founded in 1994, Thirty Bench was one of Niagara’s first boutique wineries. The property includes some of Niagara’s oldest Riesling vineyards, with plantings dating back to 1980. These original single-block, old-vine Riesling plots in the Steel Post, Triangle and Wood Post vineyards established the winery’s reputation as a top-tier, premium-quality producer; a reputation bolstered by the assurance of VQA compliance. Today, Thirty Bench grows nine varieties including Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer, Gamay, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, creating wines that have never lost sight of their rigorous small-lot approach.
