Coloured and fruity reds with a dense ruby robe, supple tannins and fresh acidity, with aromas of red and black fruits (cherry, blackberry, plum), soft spices and slightly herbaceous notes. Round mouthfeel, best drunk young. A highly frost- and disease-resistant hybrid, the driving force of northern vineyards: north-eastern USA (Finger Lakes, Pennsylvania) and Canada (Ontario).

Finger Lakes the signature: cool-climate Riesling, dry to off-dry, mineral and lively with notes of lime, apple, evolving petrol and white flowers — a US benchmark. Warmer Long Island for peppery Cabernet Franc and supple Merlot. Hudson Valley (Seyval, Vidal).
The word of the wine: Smoked
Qualifier of smells close to those of smoked food, characteristic, among other things, of the Sauvignon grape variety; hence the name of smoked white given to this variety.
