Hillick & Hobbs Estate Dry Riesling

White wine

Hillick & Hobbs Estate Dry Riesling

The Winery: The winery is the project of Paul Hobbs, a highly respected and internationally recognized winemaker. The winery is named after his parents, Joan Hillick and Edward Hobbs.   The winemaking itself is led by Lynne Fahy. She is the winemaker that crafts the wines, and is noted for her talent, and focus on the vineyard.   Region and Terroir: The wine originates from the Finger Lakes region, specifically the Seneca Lake area. This region is known for its cool climate, which is ideal for growing Riesling grapes.   The terroir is characterized by steep slopes and predominantly hard slate soils. These factors contribute to the wine's distinct minerality and acidity.   The unique high density vineyard planting, with rows running perpendicular to the lake, helps control ventilation and sun exposure.   Wine Characteristics: Hillick & Hobbs focuses exclusively on Riesling, aiming to produce wines that rival those of top European regions. The Dry Riesling is known for its: High acidity. Mineral-driven character. Notes of citrus, stone fruit, and sometimes floral hints. Elegant and concentrated flavors. The wines are made with a focus on expressing the terrior of the Seneca Lake vineyard.
