"After a decade working at a top Finger Lakes winery, Kelby James Russell set out to start his own project, purchasing the coveted Lahoma Vineyard on Seneca Lake. This is Russell's first release under the Apollo's Praise label, and it's an impressive showing of Finger Lakes Riesling. The nose brings perfumed aromas of apricots, mango, and grapefruit and the palate is brimming with more ripe stone fruit and tropical fruit notes. Though this wine is packed with fresh fruit flavors, the bright acidity and minerality still shine through on the finish."

"Made with estate fruit from Lahoma Vineyard, the 2023 Dry Riesling offers up fresh herbs, grilled grapefruit, and orange blossom. On the textural and round palate, stone fruits, almonds, and orange pith meet minerality and mouthwatering acidity. A pinch of residual sugar rounds out the balance. This is a beautiful representation of Finger Lakes Riesling for the inaugural vintage of Apollo,s Praise. -Maiah Johnson Dunn"
