Not your average Pinot Gris. Living Roots, the Finger Lakes-meets-Australia project from Seb and Colleen Hardy, ferments this one wild in stainless and lets it sit on the lees for the better part of a year. That patience builds real texture and mouthfeel while the cool New York vintage keeps everything fresh, so you get richness and cut in the same glass. Pear, ginger spice, and a leesy, savory weight set it apart from the crowd. A textural, ambitious white from one of New York's most creative addresses.

More about Living Roots

Living Roots makes wine in two hemispheres: Seb and Colleen Hardy split each year between New York's Finger Lakes and South Australia's Adelaide Hills, so they get two harvests a year.

Seb is a sixth-generation winemaker. His ancestor Thomas Hardy, who founded the Hardy's wine business, planted vines in South Australia in 1853. Colleen is from Rochester, New York. They met during the 2014 harvest at Hardy's in McLaren Vale and started Living Roots in 2016, opening an urban winery in Rochester in 2017. A cellar door at the family's K1 vineyard in the Adelaide Hills followed in 2021, then a winery on Shale Creek Vineyard above Keuka Lake in 2023, a property that belongs to Colleen's family.

Each side of the business plays to its region: whites and sparkling from the cool Finger Lakes, brighter reds from South Australia. Seb trained at the University of Adelaide and worked vintages in Australia, France, Italy, Austria and the US. He aims for minimal inputs and maximum quality.

Our New York shelf shows the house sense of humor: bone-dry Riesling, a textured Pinot Gris, a pale dry rosé, and Red Rizza, which is Riesling juice fermented on Cabernet Franc skins.
