Winemaker Notes

A signature Lamoreaux Landing Riesling presenting intense notes of peach, apricot and lemon in harmony with an edge of minerality. The palate is treated to refreshing flavors of green apples and peaches with a persistent finish. Pair with meats, cream sauces, or mild Asian cuisine.

Professional Ratings

  • 92
    Lamoreaux's dry riesling has a leafy scent of parsley to go along with notes of green apple and grilled peach. Its flavors fall toward leaner peach notes, with a fresh acidity and minerality that suggest a lively pairing with lake trout.

Lamoreaux Landing, Other U.S.
At Lamoreaux Landing, we believe in sound environmental management practices, which minimize the use of synthetic fungicides, pesticides, fertilizers, fuel, energy and waste. These "green" decisions not only protect the health of our employees, consumers, and neighbors, but also insure our economic viability and continued ability to grow and deliver the best possible wine products for generations to come.

Lamoreaux Landing controls over 100 acres of planted vineyards on the eastern hillsides of Seneca Lake. These holdings are separated into more than 20 different vineyard blocks, and are intensely managed to yield only the finest lots of estate-grown fruit for our award-winning, cool-climate, estate-bottled varietals. While Riesling and Chardonnay are the most prevalent, Lamoreaux also manages estate vineyard blocks of Cabernet Franc, Gewurztraminer, Merlot, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Riesling possesses a remarkable ability to reflect the character of wherever it is grown while still maintaining its identity. A regal variety of incredible purity and precision, this versatile grape can be just as enjoyable dry or sweet, young or old, still or sparkling and can age longer than nearly any other white variety. Somm Secret—Given how difficult it is to discern the level of sweetness in a Riesling from the label, here are some clues to find the dry ones. First, look for the world “trocken.” (“Halbtrocken” or “feinherb” mean off-dry.) Also a higher abv usually indicates a drier Riesling.

Increasingly garnering widespread and well-deserved attention, New York ranks third in wine production in the United States (after California and Washington). Divided into six AVAs—the Finger Lakes, Lake Erie, Hudson River, Long Island, Champlain Valley of New York and the Niagara Escarpment, which crosses over into Michigan as well as Ontario, Canada—the state experiences varied climates, but in general summers are warm and humid while winters are very cold and can carry the risk of frost well into the growing season.

The Finger Lakes region has long been responsible for some of the country’s finest Riesling, and is gaining traction with elegant, light-bodied Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc. Experimentation with cold-hardy European varieties is common, and recent years have seen the successful planting of grapes like Grüner Veltliner and Saperavi (from the Eastern European country of Georgia). Long Island, on the other hand, has a more maritime climate influenced by the Atlantic Ocean, and shares some viticultural characteristics with Bordeaux. Accordingly, the best wines here are made from Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The Niagara Escarpment is responsible for excellent ice wines, usually made from the hybrid variety, Vidal.
