Historic

It is our goal to steward these historic vineyards, prolong their productivity, and discover the unique qualities that only hard work combined with time can provide.

Low Intervention

Our fermentations rely on indigenous yeasts and we do not use fining additives or adjustments.

Stewardship

Sharing ownership with Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard, Standing Stone is a critical part of the Finger Lakes quality revolution.

Ideal Site

Located on the Eastern slopes of Seneca Lake, the site is not only visually stunning but also ideal vineyard land. Factors such as proximity to the lake, slope, and soil type are vital components that contribute to moderating lake effects and ripening, and contribute to the distinct nature of our wines.

Honoring the past and helping to shape the future of the Finger Lakes

Our Partner Winery

Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard, founded in 1979, is located on the western slopes of Seneca Lake. In 2007, Hermann sold the winery to Fred and Maressa Merwarth, and Oskar Bynke. A decade later, in 2017, they purchased Standing Stone. The two brands share both ownership and leadership teams. To learn more about Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard, click the link below.
