Our Grace Riesling comes from the oldest vines on our Estate Vineyard that were planted in the early 1980's. The Riesling block is on the upper and middle part of our gently sloping vineyard, which rises 600-800 feet above Seneca Lake and is surrounded by Finger Lakes National Forest. The exposure and slope orient toward the western setting sun, and the hillside drains cold winter air and warm summer rains down toward the lake. The soil is the highly valued Honeoye silt loam, the shoulder slopes of the glacially tilled drumlins that comprise of rocky
and mixed limestone and shale. The vines are farmed with regenerative practices with a goal of taking care of the rich biodiversity and majestic nearby waters and preserving our natural beauty and ecosystem for future generations. The vines are pruned by hand, and the grapes are hand harvested.
