Lakewood Dry Riesling is a premium white wine produced by Lakewood Vineyards, a family-owned winery located in the Finger Lakes region of New York. This wine is made from Riesling grapes grown in the winery's estate vineyards, which are situated on the slopes of Seneca Lake. The vineyards benefit from the lake's moderating influence, which helps to create a cool climate that is ideal for growing Riesling. The winemaking process involves carefully selecting the grapes, fermenting them in stainless steel tanks, and aging the wine on its lees to enhance its complexity and texture. The resulting wine is a dry, crisp, and refreshing expression of Riesling, with notes of citrus, green apple, and mineral. It is a perfect match for seafood, salads, and spicy dishes.
