Standing Stone Vineyards Riesling Timeline Dry Seneca Lake 2020 750 ML

Standing Stone Vineyards is a historic winery nestled on the southeast side of Seneca Lake where sun and slope aspects greatly impact grape growing in the Finger Lakes. It’s here where grapevines are oriented in north-south rows atop the gentle drumlins along the shore, catching the reflected light and warmth off the lake from midday to sunset, allowing for desired ripening.
Vines are constantly changing and adapting, which means that after decades in the ground, their genetic makeup will not only be different from when they were first planted, but it will also vary from modern cultivars of the same varietal and clone. The age of a vineyard is a testament to the vines’ adaptability and their capacity to survive stresses like drought, severe cold, and disease. Old vines are also distinct for their deep root systems, lower yields, and smaller clusters, which are all desirable factors for producing wines with concentration and complexity.
