APOLLO’S PRAISE NEW YORK
Apollo’s Praise was founded in 2023 in the Finger Lakes region of New York, by married couple Kelby James Russell and Julia Rose Hoyle. They are both expert winemakers who spent 15 years making wine for other local vineyards. The winery’s history is tied to the famous Lahoma Vineyard, which they bought to create their first vintage. Their philosophy is that the best wines are art. They believe wine should tell a story about where and when it was made. Instead of trying to make a “perfect” wine every year, they embrace the changes that come with each harvest season. They use minimal-intervention methods to let the natural traits of the fruit shine. They compare their role to salt in food. They want to guide the wine to its true self without their work being too noticeable.
