Grapes: 77% cayuga white, 15% aromella, 8% landot noir
Alcohol: 9.4%
Vineyard: Elizabeth's, Folts Farm, home farm
Soil: Various loam and shale
TASTING NOTES: Grapefruit, melon rind, elderberry, celery seed, floral, dry and savory with a chalky texture and silky finish.
ELEVAGE: Grapes were crushed, destemmed and pressed. Settled juice was moved to stainless steel where fermentation, including full malolactic, continued over about ten months. In September of 2023 the wine was racked off its lees and bottled without fining or filtration.
MISCELLANEOUS: This blended rose is based primarily on the cold-hardy grape cayuga white which dates back to 1945. A cross between seyve-villard (seyval) and schuyler--which is itself a cross between zinfandel and Ontario zinfandel--cayuga white is planted throughout the Finger Lakes and is known as a reliable producer. The blend is rounded out with some aromella and our own homegrown landot noir which adds color and red berry flavors. (Okay, so are you also intrigued by the idea of Ontario zinfandel? Picturing vodka and a packet of grape Kool-Aid. And also, hockey.)
