Hillick & Hobbs Estate Dry Riesling 2021

Steep, slate-rich slopes on Seneca Lake’s western edge helped protect vines from May frost, limiting damage to 10–15%. Despite a cool spring and humid summer, October warmth ripened fruit beautifully. Harvest began October 5, yielding bright, focused, and energetic wines from balanced, hand-picked clusters grown on glacial soils. We are vigilant in our stewardship of the land and engaged in labor-intensive, hand-farming methods year-round to grow fruit to the highest quality. The up to 55-degree gradient requires specialized equipment and erosion prevention measures such as no tilling or exposed soils and year-round cover crop. Hillick & Hobbs Estate is certified under New York Sustainable Winegrowing.
