TASTING NOTES This Riesling is grown in limestone and shalestone soils on the steep slopes surrounding the Finger Lakes. It is an elegant, dry style with delicate aromatics, distinct minerality and a bright acidity. VINEYARD ∼ Estate grown, 100% Riesling, Finger Lakes AVA, NY ∼ White Springs Vineyard (63%), 16 Falls Vineyard (37%), one vineyard is on each side of Seneca lake ∼ White Springs has eastern exposure, honeoye loam over limestone soil & VSP trellis system, planted in 2003-2004 (one of few limestone sites in the Finger Lakes region) ∼ 16 Falls has western exposure, clay/loam over shalestone & a lyre trellis system, planted in 1998-2002 ∼ Clones 198, 239 and 90 and rootstock mostly 3309C, some 101-14 and 5BB

GROWING SEASON ∼ Mild winter and spring resulting in an excellent fruit set ∼ Warm and sunny summer followed by variable conditions during the fall season ∼ In degree days, one of the ripest vintages ever, but significant rainfall ∼ Harvest dates of October 9 to October 19

WINEMAKING ∼ Hand harvested grapes from both vineyards were whole cluster pressed ∼ The smaller machine harvested fraction from the (home farm) White Springs vineyard was given skin contact in our tankpress prior to pressing ∼ All components were fermented at low temps.

STORY & PHILOSOPHY Ravines Wine Cellars makes dry, classical, terroir-driven wines on over 130 acres of estate vineyards. Founded in 2001 and family-owned and operated ever since by Morten and Lisa Hallgren, Morten was raised and trained as an oenologist / winemaker in Provence and Bordeaux France, before moving to the region and pioneering the bone-dry, mineral-tinged Riesling style that the region is now famous for. Ravines utilizes minimal intervention in the cellar and employs sustainable winegrowing practices on steep-sloping vineyards with limestone and shalestone soils. Our wines have continually gained noteworthy press and international accolades as a standard-bearer Finger Lakes winery.
