At 640 feet or 107 fathoms deep, Seneca Lake's huge volume of water provides our vineyards with year-round temperature moderation. The lake's effect results in cool nights late into the growing season, preserving our grapes' natural acidity and leading to well-balanced wines.This opportune location consistently produces outstanding vintages of Riesling and Gewurztraminer, the two signature white varieties that comprise this very special blend of Riesling and Gewurtztraminer (blended post fermentation). This beautiful blend of two star varietals of the Finger Lakes was first made in 2013 to commemorate our 35th anniversary. Both Riesling and Gewurztraminer show off their big aromatics with a nose that's both intensely floral and fruity at the same time. Rich, yet lively, on the palate with a finish that doesn't stop.Food Pairing Notes: Excellent pairing wine - well suited for a holiday dinner! - Reviews
