It is
often
said
that
wine
is an
expression
of the
vineyard...
The
natural
beauty
of the
Finger
Lakes
affords
the
grape
grower
one
of the
world’s
finest
locations
to grow
quality
grapes.
The
key
element
is the
terrain
of the
region.
Growers
look
to the
gentle
slopes
and
the
warming
influence
of the
deep
lakes
for
sites
less
susceptible
to frost,
as cold
heavy
air
masses
tend
to settle
in valleys
and
bring
unwelcome
late
spring
freezes.
Combine
the
terrain
with
an
exceptional
growing
climate
of
warm
days
and
cool
evenings
along
with
the
deep,
well-drained
gravelly
soil
and
you
have
the
Finger
Lakes
region
of
New
York
State
-
a
world-class
viticultural
area.
The
grapes
used
to
create
Heron
Hill’s
wines
come
from
two
main
locations
in
the
Finger
Lakes
region;
Ingle
Vineyards
situated
on
the
western
slopes
of
Canandaigua
Lake
and
Heron
Hill
Vineyards
located
on
the
western
slopes
of
Keuka
Lake.
Ingle
Vineyards
are
maintained
by
Heron
Hill’s
owner,
John
Ingle,
Jr.
Planted
in
1972,
Chardonnay,
Cabernet
Franc,
Merlot,
Riesling
and
Pinot
Noir
grapes
are
harvested
from
these
vineyards.
Heron
Hill
Vineyards,
located
at
the
winery,
are
maintained
by
Heron
Hill’s
winemaker,
Thomas
Laszlo.
Planted
in
1968,
the
Chardonnay
and
Riesling
vineyards
are
some
of
the
oldest
Vinifera
vines
in
the
Finger
Lakes
region.
Both
Thomas
and
John
realize
that
grapes
are
a
labor-intensive
crop
with
each
vine
needing
year-round
individual
care.
With
their
dedicated
team
of
workers
and
careful
site
management,
the
vineyards
produce
grapes
that
are
consistent
with
Heron
Hill’s
commitment
to
quality.
Join
Heron
Hill
in
celebrating
the
gifts
of
the
true
beauty
found
in
the
Finger
Lakes
region.
