2025 · Riesling 'The Knoll - Lahoma Vyd'

Founded in 2023 by Finger Lakes winemakers Kelby James Russell and Julia Rose Hoyle, Apollo’s Praise is a couple-owned and operated winery on Seneca Lake’s west side in New York. The pair purchased Lahoma Vineyard and handle both winemaking and day-to-day operations themselves. Farming is described as sustainable, without a stated formal certification. Their focus is on single-vineyard, site-specific wines, including Riesling, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, and New York’s first Scheurebe planting.
