IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILS

Viticulture:
100% Grüner Veltliner from our estate Seneca Lake property planted in 2007 by Fred Frank. Located on the southeast part of the lake known as the ‘banana belt’ in an area with higher than average temperatures and more sun exposure, which translates into a longer growing season that facilitates higher levels of ripeness. The vineyards are characterized by honeoye silt loam.

Vinification:
The grapes were picked in the early morning to retain freshness, de-stemmed, and pressed immediately. Once pressed, the grapes were fermented in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures to preserve the more delicate characteristics and freshness. The wine rests on its fine lees for 5 months before bottling.

The Wine:
Very aromatic and expressive wine with dominant characters of lime, grapefruit, white flowers and peach finishing with notes of white pepper. The mineral backbone is enhanced by a crisp acidity, giving the wine superb complexity, and making it a food friendly style.
