In 1972, a 5 acre plot of Riesling was planted on the eastern slopes of Seneca Lake by Charles Fournier and Guy DeVeaux as part of Gold Seal’s exploration into the viability of vinifera. This is where the “timeline” begins for what will one day be Standing Stone Vineyards. The combination of vine age and the site’s location contribute to this dry Riesling’s concentration and complexity.
