What is this wine?
Apollo’s Praise Chardonnay “Lahoma Vineyard” 2024 is a single-vineyard Chardonnay from the Lahoma Vineyard on Seneca Lake in New York’s Finger Lakes region. Crafted by the Apollo’s Praise team—an artisanal producer known for minimal-intervention winemaking—it’s made from sustainably farmed grapes grown on glacial soils of shale and clay. Fermented with native yeasts and aged in neutral oak and stainless steel, this wine highlights the cool-climate precision and minerality that define top Finger Lakes Chardonnay.

Why get this wine?
Apollo’s Praise is part of the new generation elevating Finger Lakes Chardonnay to world-class status. The Lahoma Vineyard bottling delivers texture, purity, and balance—combining the tension of Chablis with the subtle creaminess of Burgundy. The 2024 vintage shows clarity and energy, offering remarkable value for a small-production, terroir-focused white.

What does this wine taste like?
Bright and focused, with aromas of green apple, lemon curd, and white flowers. The palate is sleek and mineral, with hints of brioche and hazelnut, finishing long, saline, and precise.

When should you drink this wine?
Enjoy now for its freshness or cellar through 2030 for added depth. Perfect with seafood, roast chicken, or creamy pasta. Serve cool but not cold.

More about Apollo's Praise

Kelby James Russell and Julia Rose Hoyle established Apollo's Praise in 2023 with the purchase of the Lahoma Vineyard on the west side of Seneca Lake in the Finger Lakes. The vineyard's sandstone soils are uncommon in the region and lend their Rieslings a real opulence and ripe generosity that stands out in any lineup. Both winemakers have deep experience in the region, and their vision is to make wines that honor terroir-driven expression. This is still early, but the potential here is genuine.
