The 2023 vintage is part of our legacy vintages. While it's no longer available for purchase, its reviews, accolades, and story live here permanently.
Explore Current Releases →The grapes for this wine were harvested late in the season from a single vineyard, Standing Stone, located on the southeastern side of Seneca Lake. Standing Stone Vineyards prioritizes vineyard health as essential to winemaking. Their biodynamic practices foster biodiversity in the Finger Lakes Region, leading to resilient vineyards and exceptional wines.
This wine captures the essence of the vineyard’s unique site. The vines had been lightly impacted by Botrytis, more affectionately known as “noble rot,” thanks to misty fall mornings followed by warm and sunny afternoons in the vineyards through the 2023 growing season. The extended ripening period allows for the development of concentrated sugars and flavors, creating a beautifully balanced and complex dessert wine.
