CAYUGA LAKE VINEYARD: Located in Ovid, New York on the western shore of Cayuga Lake and is composed of gravelly loam derived from shale, limestone and slate. The vineyard's gentle, well drained slope towards the lake and east facing exposure combine to create a perfect site for cool climate viticulture. This vineyard produces wine of great finesse with bright, mineral studded acidity
