Eastern Daylight Off Dry Riesling 2024

The Eastern Daylight Off-Dry Riesling 2024 is a refined expression of balance and freshness, crafted through a partnership between Eastern Daylight and Red Tail Ridge Winery. Made with sustainably farmed fruit from the Red Tail Ridge vineyard on Seneca Lake’s west side, this Riesling offers a perfect harmony of bright acidity, delicate sweetness, and crisp minerality — a true reflection of the Finger Lakes terroir.

Vineyard & Philosophy

This wine reflects a deep commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship. The vineyards are managed with cover crops, pollinator-friendly habitats, and water-smart practices that protect soil health and biodiversity. The production facility itself is LEED Gold Certified, underscoring the team’s dedication to eco-conscious winemaking. Every element of this Riesling — from vineyard to bottle — is shaped by respect for nature and balance.

Style & Character

A touch of natural sweetness enhances the wine’s texture without overpowering its clean, refreshing finish. It’s a Riesling designed for versatility — juicy yet elegant, expressive yet effortless.
