About
Standing Stone Vineyards is a historic winery on the eastern slopes of Seneca Lake in New York's Finger Lakes, shared ownership with Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard. They focus on low-intervention winemaking using indigenous yeasts, no fining additives, stewarding historic vineyards for unique site-expressive wines. Ideal site factors like lake proximity, slope, and soil contribute to their distinct Rieslings, sparklings, and reds like Saperavi.
