Living Roots Wine & Co. is an intercontinental winery founded by husband and wife Sebastian Hardy, a sixth-generation Australian winemaker, and Colleen Hardy, a Rochester marketer, with operations in New York's Finger Lakes and South Australia's Adelaide Hills. They produce small-batch natural wines using low-input techniques and wild yeast fermentation, focusing on sparkling wines, aromatic whites like Riesling in the Finger Lakes, and vibrant reds like Shiraz and emerging varieties in Australia. Sourcing from family vineyards including Shale Creek on Keuka Lake and K1 in Kuitpo, they emphasize family heritage, adventure, and minimal intervention.
