“At Fox Run Vineyards, we do not take the term ‘reserve’ lightly. We choose to save this designation for occasions when one of our wines develops into our ideal version of that particular variety.” says winemaker Peter Bell.
“The 2011 Reserve Riesling is showing very well right now. It is a wine that can be enjoyed now or added to your cellar to enjoy later. I am just now opening bottles of our 2006 vintage and it is drinking beautifully.” added Owner Scott Osborn.
The 2011 and 2006 vintages were made in a semi-dry style while the 2008 was fermented dry. Fox Run has only released four reserve Rieslings in its 23 year history. It retails in our tasting room and online for $29.99 and can be found in select NY retail stores. Only 430 cases of the 2011 were made.
Fox Run Vineyards overlooks Seneca Lake in the heart of New York’s Finger Lakes, one of the world’s premier cool-climate wine regions. For more than a century, Fox Run was a dairy farm until being restored and opened as a winery in 1990. Today Fox Run is one of the most-visited wineries in the Finger Lakes. With fifty acres of vineyards, the winery was one of the region’s first true artisanal wine producers, creating a remarkable range of limited-production, site-expressive estate wines. Owner Scott Osborn and winemaker Peter Bell and his team are changing the perception of Finger Lakes wines with startling Rieslings and cool-climate Chardonnays. Regularly recognized in national wine publications, Fox Run Vineyards was named one of the top 100 wineries in the world by Wine & Spirits Magazine in 2008, and has been a multiple gold medal winner at the Riesling du Monde competition in Strasbourg, France.
