Expert Reviews
The 2023 Riesling HJW Vineyard is the first vintage to be fully Demeter certified, marking a milestone as the first vineyard on the East Coast to achieve this. It boasts an incredibly beguiling nose, a veritable potpourri of floral tones and fresh citrus lift. This vintage is broader and more caressing than the 2022 tasted alongside, with a notably longer finish. Driven and even-tempered, this is where Finger Lakes Riesling shines.
Bottled with just under seven grams per liter of residual sugar, the 2023 Riesling HJW Vineyard is reasonably dry, with scents of crushed stone that come across as almost talc-like, plus fresh limes, green apples and white peaches. It's medium-bodied and gently creamy in texture, with a long, silky-textured finish.
