Lamoreaux Landing has been farming the eastern hillsides of Seneca Lake for three generations, and the operation reflects every one of those years. The estate covers 119 acres divided into more than 20 individual vineyard blocks, planted predominantly on Honeoye Silt Loam and Lansing Gravely Loam soils. Riesling, Chardonnay, and Cabernet Franc anchor the portfolio, with Gewürztraminer, Grüner Veltliner, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Muscat Ottonel rounding out the plantings. Every wine, including the sparkling program, is produced and bottled from estate-grown fruit. A 90 KW solar array installed in 2016 covers 100 percent of the winery's electrical needs, offsetting 60 tons of CO2 annually. Tastings are by reservation Friday through Sunday, and strongly encouraged the rest of the week.
Don't miss: the sparkling wines, which are made entirely from estate fruit and represent one of the more serious sparkling programs on the east shore.
