2017 20 Rows Dry Riesling
A lovely fruit-forward flavor balanced with some minerality characteristic of Finger Lakes’ Rieslings. This wine pairs beautifully with a range of foods or can be enjoyed in a glass on a summer afternoon.
Hand harvested. The 20 Rows Vineyard is our largest estate site, at just over four acres, and is located on the east side of Keuka Lake. It was planted in 2004 to our usual 5’ spacing between vines and 9’ between rows, with an additional 9 rows added in 2010. Made of mostly clay sediment with dense glacial till, the soils are moderately well-drained as they slope downwards toward the lake.It has a gentle slope with good airflow.
