VinePair’s “30 Best Rieslings to Try in 2026”

Feb 27, 2026 | Reviews & Articles

Our 2024 Josef Vineyard Riesling was included in VinePair’s annual roundup of The 30 Best Rieslings to Try in 2026, a global list spanning benchmark producers from New York and California to Germany, Austria, Australia, and the Pacific Northwest. We’re grateful to see our wine recognized among such distinguished company!

From the article: “Sourced from vines planted in 1974, this single-vineyard Riesling is one of the most expressive in the Finger Lakes. Grapes from this site are harvested after longer hang times, resulting in richly concentrated fruit. The result is a generous wine with bold notes of apricot, pineapple, and spice. The extra touch of residual sugar lends to a weighty mouthfeel, moderated by bright acidity.”
