2025 DRY RIESLING RELEASE | Friday, 9/4
I feel pretty confident saying this is the best white wine we’ve ever made. As our most widely planted variety, Riesling has clearly found a home here in our Hunterdon hillsides. The spectacular 2025 vintage allowed us to achieve ideal ripeness, bringing out the full potential of the grape in our classic bone-dry style with a level of concentration and intensity that’s a notch above previous vintages.
This wine is assembled from two distinct estate vineyard blocks and clones. Our Shy Creek Riesling, planted to clone 198, provides a chiseled backbone of acidity and delicate aromas of jasmine and citrus blossom. It’s blended with our flagship Alto Riesling, a three-acre block of clone 90 that brings penetrating lime zest and pink grapefruit flavors, along with a slightly broader texture and weight.
The result is a wine with mouthwatering acidity, remarkable purity of fruit, and the structure to continue developing beautifully for at least another decade in bottle. It also tastes really great right now, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

We’re especially excited to introduce a new way to enjoy this wine by the glass: on tap!
As part of a sustainability pilot study with The Winemaker’s Co-Op, we’ve put a portion of our 2025 Dry Riesling into reusable stainless steel kegs. Participating wineries will be tracking the carbon footprint and economic impact of reusable kegs compared with traditional wine packaging - and we’re inviting you to be part of the study by sharing your feedback on the draft wine experience.
Our 2025 Dry Riesling will be available by the glass (on tap!) or by the bottle beginning Friday, September 4th, for Locals Night.
