Golden and a little hazy, this wine comes from our “secret garden.” Auten Vineyard is on the west side of Cayuga Lake, a gently sloping site with naturally high lime soil. Since 2008 we have bottled single vineyard Rieslings, often differentiating clonal type. With age, compared to our other Rieslings, Clone 10 from this vineyard has taken on a more traditional Germanic sensibility and structure – think a wilder and more bohemian Joh. Jos. Prüm – “By turns intriguing and confounding, this Riesling definitely has personality.” – Jason Wilson, Vinous.
Spontaneously fermented, unfined and unfiltered, with minimal S02 only at bottling.
