Situated on the southeastern banks of Seneca Lake, our estate vineyards’ steep slopes and row orientation encourage excellent air flow and early ripening. The 2021 vintage is a textural Riesling with fragrant aromas of gardenia followed by layers of pear, citrus, and crushed rock that are mirrored on the palate. A long finish is extended by crisp acidity and lingering minerality.

Restrained and elegant, notes of citrus, peach pit and ginger weave between waxy, honeyed richness. The palate is finessed, long and harmonious but speaks quietly, demanding thoughtful tasting rather than porch pounding. Drink now, just slightly chilled, with food, or up until 2031.

Crackles nicely with pippin apple, lime and slate notes. Reveals flashes of yellow apple and chamomile on the finish, with the slate edge lingering nicely. Drink now through 2027. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 4,500 cases made.
