In my opinion, Finger Lakes Rieslings are some of the most interesting and captivating Rieslings in all of North America. For this Semi-Dry Riesling, we stopped fermentation to allow the fruit to shine”
– Shannon Brock, Co-Owner & Winemaker
WINEMAKER NOTES
Semi-dry Riesling is a strategic blend of grapes from our own vineyard and a trusted grower-partner. Our 36-year- old, biologically-farmed vineyard perched on the edge of Seneca Lake provides minerality and elegance (13% STV Estate Vineyard). Gridley Bluff Point Vineyard sits high above Keuka Lake on a mix of loose shale and loam and contributes intense aromatics and tropical fruit (87%).
