These single vineyard Rieslings (Hanging Delta and Lake Dana) highlight the unique geology of our vineyards.
Fruit was hand-picked and whole cluster pressed. Fermentation was initiated using the classic pied de cuve method, meaning that a small quantity of fermenting wine from another tank was added to the juice instead of a cultured yeast inoculum. Fermentation lasted five weeks, and was arrested by cooling when the wine contained considerable residual sugar.
In the mouth, the unctuous sweetness is balanced by racy acidity.

We bought this wine last year in the Finger Lakes. We loved it so much that even though we couldn't come to the Finger Lakes this year we had to get more. This is the first wine we ever ordered online!

Using the pied de cuve fermentation method creates a more complex wine with subtle fruit flavors. Tree fruits, mango, sweet grass and lime zest aromas are anything but shy here. In the mouth, the unctuous sweetness is balanced by racy acidity. Wines made using this style can be aged for 20 years.
