The Finger Lakes region, located in New York, USA, is the state's largest wine-producing area, home to over 400 wineries. Though not widely known, it has been producing wines for many years.
Forge Cellars is one of the region's most significant wineries, with a strong commitment to sustainability. Their vineyards follow a "biointensive" cultivation philosophy, aiming to minimize their carbon footprint in every possible way. The grapes are hand-harvested and hand-sorted, with only native yeasts used in fermentation, which takes place in small barrels to achieve the best possible expression of terroir. In line with their gentle winemaking approach, their wines have very low sulfur levels and are unfiltered.
The Seneca Lake Dry Riesling Classique 2020 - Forge Cellars is crafted from grapes sourced from different vineyard sites, each contributing its own unique character to the blend. It is aged for eight months in neutral French barriques and stainless steel tanks.
