Heart & Hands 2015 Dry Riesling VINEYARDS Heart & Hands 2015 Dry Riesling is made from grapes grown by the following vineyards in New York’s Finger Lakes Viticultural Area: Nutt Road Vineyard Seneca Lake (West) 71% Patrician Verona Vineyard Cayuga Lake (West) 29% VINTAGE e 2015 vintage began with a cold winter followed by a cool, rainy spring, a seasonal bud break and a June bloom. Summer delivered signicant heat and sun, bringing the ripening back on pace with historical regional norms. September and October were warm and dry, allowing grapes to achieve optimal ripeness, while cool nights preserved acidity. WINEMAKING e Riesling was harvested over the course of six days in October aer each vineyard achieved optimal ripeness. Harvested fruit from each vineyard was separately whole cluster basket pressed and chilled. Fermentation lasted an average of 54 days at 53° and some batches were stopped before dryness in order to retain varietal character and vibrancy. e wine was then bottled under the Vino-Lok glass closure to preserve the essence of the wine. TASTING NOTES & FOOD PAIRINGS e 2015 Dry Riesling begins with hints of orange blossom, honeycrisp apple and minerality on the nose, followed by notes of nectarines and a bright burst of grapefruit on the palate. e nish is brisk, racy and refreshing.
