Standing Stone Vineyards By Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard

Historic and innovative vineyard on the eastern slopes of Seneca Lake.
(504)

In 1991, we purchased historic vineyards on the east side of Seneca Lake. A long line of venerable vintners spent years researching the quality of these lands. We followed in their footsteps by growing wines in the same historic vineyards that served Gold Seal Vineyards so well in the past. History became our best teacher, for conditions on the rolling hillsides above Seneca Lake proved ideal for

growing and harvesting premium grapes and subsequently crafting heavenly wines. In just a few short years, our boutique winery began to make history with a prized selection of award-winning wines. Our wines continue to reap honors and critical acclaim on the wine circuit, but we've only just begun to show our potential. We plan to move into the history of the future, with the great vineyards of the world, bringing much deserved recognition to the new world-class wines of the Finger Lakes.

For us, our friend Chef Conny Andersson created this recipe to pair with our Standing Stone Blanc de Blanc, and it has been an immediate favorite: Serrano Ham Chips with Piquillo Pepper Pimento Cheese Dip.

Crispy, paper-thin ham chips alongside a house-made dip of roasted piquillo peppers, aged cheddar, and sherry vinegar, alongside the rich, yet bright, fine mousse of the 2020 vintage of our Standing Stone Blanc de Blanc.

The secret behind the color? Saperavi is one of the rare grapes where pigment runs through the pulp itself therefore no skin contact is needed. That same depth carries into the glass, with ripe cherry, a lift of lime zest, and enough structure to stand up to whatever you're grilling this spring.

Our biodynamic program is headed across the pond!

This year marks the beginning of our transition toward being fully biodynamic, practicing at Standing Stone. We're starting from the ground up — with the soil — focusing on organic manure, cover crops, and a tea-based spray program that mirrors what we've built at HJW.

It's the first step in a multi-year journey toward Demeter certification, as we continue to expand our overall approach to healthy vineyards, farms, and land. Standing Stone has a rich history, and by adopting these practices, we're striving to better preserve this special site for the future.

Ever wondered what's actually going on inside a bottle of Pétillant Naturel? 🍾

Join us next Friday, April 24th for Let's Chat About Pet Nat, part of our Open Doors series, right here at Standing Stone. Associate Winemaker Bryanna Cramer will walk you through the history and fundamentals of sparkling wine, and dig into what makes the spontaneously effervescent Pet Nat style so special (and so fun to drink).
