2018 RIESLING - Ten Dots - Lamb's Quarter Vineyard
Dry White Sparkling Wine
60 Cases produced
Alcohol: 11.5%
Total sulfite: 35 ppm
Soil: Deeper loam over shale and limestone
Grape: 100% Riesling
- Crushed and Destemmed
- Ambient Yeast
- Stainless Steel

ELEVAGE: Grapes were crushed, destemmed and fermented on their skins for ten
days. Pressed juice was moved to stainless steel where fermentation, including full
malolactic, continued into July of 2019. In early August of 2019 the wine was racked
of its lees, given a one brix addition of sugar, and gravity bottled by hand without
fining or filtration. The wine naturally refermented in bottle over the next four months.
TASTING NOTE: Ripe lime and orange zest aromas. Orange peel, anise and shale in the
mouth with a light tannic grip. Bright acid and quite dry on the finish.
SENECA LAKE VINEYARD: In and around Lodi, New York on the eastern shore of Seneca Lake, grower Mark Wagner maintains nearly seventy acres of vines contained in six separate plots with soils mostly composed of deeper loam over shale and limestone. Green mulching and cover crops are used to manage weeds and vines are meticulously cared for with an eye towards sustainability. These vineyards produce classic Finger Lakes wines with wonderful balance and clarity.
Seneca Lake Vineyard, clone 4 chardonnay. It's practically obscene.
