ELEVAGE: Hand picked grapes were crushed and destemed and put into one-ton bins to macerate for 2 days before being bucketed into the half-ton bladder press. Settled juice was allowed to brown and then pumped into stainless steel to ferment by ambient yeast. After 23 months, in August of 2017, the wine was racked off its lees and gravity bottled by hand without fining or filtration.

TASTING NOTE: Pear and marzipan aroma, full in the mouth with flavors of flint and apple, bright acids and a spritz of natural CO2.

SENECA LAKE VINEYARD: In and around Lodi, New York on the eastern shore of Seneca Lake, grower Mark Wagner maintains nearly seventy acres of vines contained in six separate plots with soils mostly composed of deeper loam over shale and limestone. Green mulching and cover crops are used to manage weeds and vines are meticulously cared for with an eye towards sustainability. These vineyards produce classic Finger Lakes wines with wonderful balance and clarity.



Seneca Lake Vineyard, clone 4 chardonnay. It's practically obscene.
