This sparkling riesling developed lovely toast and apple aromas in addition to its minerality and delicate floral scents. Beautiful Riesling grapes with no botrytis, producing a sparkler with layers of minerality, fruit, brioche and nuance.
Ravines’ first vintage in 2002 was exclusively dry, vinifera wines. The Riesling took the Best Dry Riesling medal at the World Riesling Cup. Then came the Wine Spectator Top 100, the first non-dessert Finger Lakes wine to get onto the prestigious list and then named twice more in the next few years. Then came Wine & Spirits Top 100, New York Times Top 10, Decanter, Bon Appetit, Food and Wine…
This changed the trajectory of Riesling in the Finger Lakes. A new dawn toward a modern style of winemaking.
