Red Tail Ridge, Estate Dry Riesling, 2023
is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Red Tail Ridge has carved out a well-earned reputation as one of the Finger Lakes’ most focused, terroir-driven estates, and their 2023 Estate Dry Riesling is a perfect example of what makes the region—and this grape—so compelling.
Sourced from sustainably farmed vines on the western shore of Seneca Lake, this Riesling is all about balance: electric acidity, lean citrus fruit, and that signature Finger Lakes minerality that brings it all together. Lime peel, green apple, and a whisper of white peach lead the nose, while the palate is crisp and dry, with just enough texture to round out the edges. Fermented cool in stainless steel, it’s built for freshness and precision, with a racy, saline finish that begs another sip.
This is not just a refreshing white—it’s a serious, structured Riesling that can stand up to oysters, spicy Thai, or simply your next quiet evening in. A textbook expression of place, made with intention and restraint.
