Tasting Notes

Silver Thread’s most ageable, distinctive Riesling elevates the Finger Lakes region. A single vineyard wine made from 100% estate grown Riesling from the shallow, shale-heavy soils of Silver Thread Vineyard. Most of the grapes come from 30-year-old, low-yielding vines. This juice was separated into four fermentations—including one in a 10-year-old neutral barrel with malolactic fermentation—to allow the grapes to express themselves in a myriad of ways.

A classic Riesling with aromas of lemon pith, apricot and juniper. Medium body with bristling acidity and a long finish characterized by slate, fresh lime and apricot nectar. Medium dry.
