ELEVAGE: Grapes were crushed, destemmed and macerated for two days. Pressed juice was moved to stainless steel where fermentation, including full malolactic, took place. In June of 2020 the wine was racked of its lees, sweetened with sugar and gravity bottled by hand without fining or filtration under crown cap. Second fermentation took place in bottle..

TASTING NOTE: Lychee, tangerine peel and yeast aromas. Light, bright and crisp in the mouth with a fine mousse and powdery shale finish.

ELIZABETH'S VINEYARD: Located in Hector, New York on the eastern shore of Seneca Lake, this twenty-seven acre vineyard is composed of shallow loam soil over shale on a slope leading to some of the lake's deepest waters. Among the pinot noir, cabernet franc and riesling, grower John Leidenfrost also maintains blocks of spur pruned cabernet sauvignon and chardonnay over a quarter century old. This vineyard's privileged exposure and thin, shale laden soil produces wine of great depth and backbone.



Tilled up "soil" during some new planting at Elizabeth's Vineyard.
