2025 DRY RIESLING

The 2025 growing season in the Finger Lakes provided an exceptional balance of ripeness, acidity, and aromatic expression. A mild winter and warm spring prompted budbreak nearly two weeks earlier than average, setting the stage for steady development throughout the summer. Warm, sunny days paired with cool nights preserved natural acidity and enhanced flavor complexity. The autumn brought near-perfect harvest conditions across the region. Dry, sunny, and warm days accompanied by crisp nights allowed for extended hang time and precise picking decisions. Grapes were harvested at peak ripeness, then gently pressed and cool-fermented in stainless steel to capture the purity of fruit and the region’s signature minerality.
