The Falling Man Vineyard is planted on a seriously steep hillside where pickers are known to stumble and tractors apt to slide. The vineyard overlooks Keuka Lake and is situated a stone's throw from our tasting room in Hammondsport, NY.
The Riesling fruit was handpicked and the juice fermented cool in a stainless steel tank. The wine was naturally cold stabilized by winter cellar temperatures and a small amount of bentonite was added for heat stability.
The wine, the winemaker's vintage favorite, exhibits a lovely and expressive nose that segues into a graceful and striking presence on the mouth.
