Started in 2000 by French-trained Oenologist, Morten Hallgren and his wife, Lisa farm 130 acres of certified sustainable estate vineyards on the steep limestone and shale stone slopes of Seneca Lake. Ravines pioneered a style of bone dry and mineral-tinged Riesling with their first vintage in 2002 and are known for producing expressive, cool-climate wines with a real sense of place, in the European tradition. Ravines is also a notable producer of sparkling wines made in the Methode Champenoise.<\/p>\n<p>Ravines Wine Cellars has garnered awards and accolades with their first vintage in 2002 and has since been touted by every major wine magazine for their polished and elegant wines.
