Notes
Our 100% estate grown Riesling is the most special wine produced at Silver Thread. It captures the pure, distinct flavor of our site and is unmistakably original. Bio-intensive growing practices encourage intense expression of vineyard character. An ideal candidate for cellaring, this wine will unfold and become more complex with bottle age. It is our most critically-acclaimed wine over 10 vintages.
A classic Riesling with intense aromas of lemon pith, quince, apricot and minerals. Medium body with well-integrated acidity and a long finish characterized by apricot, flint and saline. Elegant and savory. Medium dry.
Sample this Riesling alongside its sisters–Riesling Doyle Fournier Vineyard and Riesling Gridley Bluff Point Vineyard–for the ultimate Finger Lakes Riesling experience.
Critically-acclaimed winemaker Paul Brock and wine educator Shannon Brock assumed ownership of the boutique estate winery in 2011. We create expressive, age-worthy wines in harmony with nature.
The vineyard is managed with sustainable farming practices, relying on naturally occurring and biodegradable spray materials.
The turtle image on our label was carved in a rock beside one of New York’s woodland creeks by a Native American artist many centuries ago. As an earth symbol to the Iroquois people, the turtle reminds us to care for the land and water that give us the gift of wine.
