Wine Profile

Vineyard Notes

A warm winter led to an early bud break. However, a hard freeze in the early morning of May 18th could have spelled disaster. The wind machines in the vineyard did their job and saved the vintage.   The freeze was followed by a cool, early to mid-summer which significantly slowed ripening. Shading from the smoke resulting from the Canadian fires contributed to the cool conditions over the summer.  All this culminated in a later harvest start and some classic Finger Lakes-styled wines. The still wines are fully textured and have rich palate profiles. They retain a nice balance of acidity that will make them very food friendly and lithe on the palate.

Production Notes

Harvested by hand on September 22, 2023, the grapes were then destemmed. Placed in open air vessels for fermentation, with twice-a-day punch downs. Aging in neutral oak for 9 months.
