"Ravines is the Finger Lakes passion project of Morten Hallgren and his wife Lisa. Hats off to these guys, as they are among the first talents to recognize the vast potential of the Finger Lakes to make wines of depth and terroir. The couple cut their teeth working with Dr. Konstantin (the true pioneer of the Finger Lakes) and sometime there after purchased their own property on Seneca Lake in 2000. Their dry Rieslings have been considered a benchmark for the region for some years now although this Chardonnay is still somewhat under the radar. It is utterly unique in that the wine is produced using ‘appasimento’ (dried out grapes!). Although, having tasted the wine I wouldn’t have guessed in a million years—this bottling is toasty but balanced. There is touch of butter although it is counterbalanced by minerality here as streak of flint. A unique glimpse into this glacial terroir. A perfect pairing for lobster rolls, pan-fried flounder, or river trout. "
