Osmote Wine

Osmote Wine is a family-run winery based in Burdett, NY, overlooking Seneca Lake in the Finger Lakes region. Founded by Ben Riccardi in 2014, Osmote produces under 24,000 bottles annually, focusing on balance and restraint in their naturally fermented wines. The winemaking philosophy emphasizes freshness, texture, and clarity over weight and extraction. Classic varieties and modern disease-resistant hybrids are used to create light-bodied wines that can pair with a range of occasions, from fine dining to casual gatherings. Ben's winemaking experience spans the globe, including stints at Willams Selyem in California and Craggy Range in New Zealand. The winery operates on a 31-acre farm, where regenerative viticulture practices are employed to promote soil building, diversity, and sustainability. Osmote's wines have gained recognition, being poured at Michelin-starred restaurants, but the winery's approach remains focused on comfort and accessibility rather than fine dining pretension. The facility has evolved from a tenant winery to its current setup in Ovid, NY, which also serves as a community hub for smaller wineries and young families.
