AI generated

Living Roots Wine & Co. is a small-batch winery with operations in both the Finger Lakes region of New York and the Adelaide Hills region of South Australia. Founded by husband-and-wife team Sebastian, a sixth-generation winemaker from Adelaide, and Colleen, a marketer from Rochester, New York, the winery pays homage to their family heritage while exploring new vineyards, styles, and low-input techniques. The Finger Lakes portfolio includes wines such as Vidal Blanc, Cabernet Franc, Bone-Dry Riesling, and Traditional Method Sparkling Riesling, which showcase the region's cool climate and suitability for aromatic whites like Riesling and Pinot Gris. In Adelaide Hills, Living Roots produces a range of wines including Grenache, Rizz Fizz, and Teroldego. The winery sources grapes from various vineyards and growers, with a focus on sustainable practices and minimal intervention in the cellar. Their wine-making process involves traditional techniques such as hand-picking, wild yeast fermentation, and aging in older oak barrels or stainless steel tanks. Living Roots offers online shopping for both US and Australian customers, with a selection of wines available for purchase. The winery's website also features a blog with news, events, and stories about their wine-making journey.
