ABOUT THIS WINE

The site’s location on the shale slopes of Seneca Lake is ideal, creating optimal conditions and achieving impressive ripeness. The winery employees indigenous fermentation and minimal intervention in the cellar as well as employees biodynamic principals in the vineyard.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Standing Stone Vineyards is a historic winery nestled on the southeast side of Seneca Lake where sun and slope aspects greatly impact grape growing in the Finger Lakes. It’s here where grapevines are oriented in north-south rows atop the gentle drumlins along the shore, catching the reflected light and warmth off the lake from midday to sunset, allowing for desired ripening.
In 2017, Fred and Maressa Merwarth and Oskar Bynke of Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard purchased Standing Stone Vineyards from the Macinskis and began charting a new course with innovation in the winery and biodynamic farming in the vineyards all while building and embracing the historic past. Since 2018, SSV has eliminated synthetic inputs and herbicides in the fields, planting cover crops, and moving towards bio-intensive farming for a diverse ecosystem thus leading the industry in sustainability. The revered vineyards Standing Stone were founded on fifty years ago and can still be experienced today in our Timeline Dry Riesling and vintage Blanc de Blanc Sparkling Wine which was originally planted by Fournier and Devaux in the 1970s for that very purpose. Innovation and modern winemaking are also apparent (and can be tasted) in our Sparkling Brut Rose of Saperavi, Farm White and Farm Red field blends, and some of the best Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon coming out of New York.
