Sheldrake Point
Sheldrake Point produces wines from the Finger Lakes region of New York, where cool-climate conditions favor aromatic white varieties and distinctive dessert wines. The winery's Riesling Ice Wine demonstrates the region's capacity for concentrated, late-harvest expressions, earning recognition from Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, Decanter, and Wine Spectator. A Rosé of Merlot rounds out the portfolio, offering an alternative expression of the region's red-wine potential. The Wild Ferment Riesling Ice Wine reflects a more experimental approach to the same varietal foundation. Finger Lakes' glacial soils and extended growing season create the conditions for both dry and sweet Rieslings to develop complexity and balance—qualities evident across Sheldrake Point's lineup.
