Our Estate Davis Vineyard contains two distinct blocks of riesling, planted 16 years apart. The older block, planted in 2002 to clone 239, yields rich, textural fruitiness that we highlight with Alsatian-style winemaking techniques for our Dry Riesling Davis Vineyard. Meanwhile, our classic Dry Riesling is sourced from the younger 2018 block, offering a bright, zesty lemon-lime profile, made entirely in stainless steel. These blocks are only a stone's throw from one another, but the two resulting wines showcase the remarkable variety that's possible with Finger Lakes Riesling.

2024 Vintage Notes
The 2024 season was a strong year for us at Damiani and in the Finger Lakes, and with thoughtful viticulture and a gentle hand in the cellar, the wines produced were intentional, energetic, and concentrated.
