In August of 2021 the wine was racked and bottled by hand without fining or filtration.

VINEYARD: In Lodi, New York on the eastern shore of Seneca Lake grower Mark Wagner maintains one hundred and twelve acres of vines over twenty unique plots with soils primarily composed of Honeoye Silt Loam and Lansing Gravely Loam over shale. These vineyards are meticulously cared for with an eye towards sustainability and produce classic Finger Lakes wines with wonderful balance and clarity.
