Petite Arvine 2025

The 2025 vintage is our first broad release of Petite Arvine, a traditionally Swiss grape that we’ve now been working with for over a decade. Sourced from both our original plantings in the Julia Vineyard and our newer and larger block planted at Standing Stone on the east side of Seneca Lake.

Petite Arvine has been a standout from the many exotic varietals planted at the experiental block at our Julia Vineyard. It has great balance, a delicate combination of floral and fruit aromas, with driving acidity that is reminiscent of Riesling in intensity, but structured more like Chardonnay.
