2023 Dry Riesling Classique
The Classique acts as an annual celebration of our work. It commemorates the efforts and dedication of our growers who take each vintage in stride by receiving each day with vulnerability and leaning into the gifts of Mother Nature.
Classique is an imprint of our diverse and geologically rich region. For us, it represents the potential of Bone Dry Riesling on southeast Seneca Lake.
Our Classique is our most important wine because it reflects our work on a larger scale. Ten different lieux-dits, each vinified separately, are the basis of this wine and represent the DNA of Classique. This wine is like you and me—we are individually unique, but we represent all of our ancestors at the same time. We carry their traits.
