2022 Riesling

Aromas and flavors of citrus, candied lemon and lime zest, with hints of apple and pear. Crisp and bright with a pleasant mouthfeel.

Harvested from the east side of Seneca Lake, the vines here grow in a unique soil composed of shale, gravelly loam, limestone, and clay. Fermented spontaneously in neutral barrels and bone dry, this is a persistent and beautiful... Read More

Still very reductive or sulfidic on the precise and elegantly aromatic nose, the 2022 Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Kabinett Feinherb opens without telling much at this early stage. The attack on the palate is racy, but in fact,... Read More

The HJW Vineyard is where it all began. On a bench of land seven hundred feet above Seneca Lake, Hermann planted the estate's first Riesling vines in 1977. We spotlight this block each vintage in the limited release Riesling... Read More

This beautifully combines the fruity and zesty elements, delivering great harmony between a vibrant array of peach, dried apricot and white-plum flavors and the firm backbone of acidity. The long, supple finish is well spiced.... Read More

Opens with a greenish, vegetal and almost dusty bouquet of grass and earth, whereas the fruit aromas emerge only slowly but nobly, with a very fine and maybe just-ripe note representing the stunningly coolish character of 2022.... Read More
