The wine region of Cayuga Lake
New York AVA at the heart of the Finger Lakes (around the longest glacial lake, moderating microclimate, fertile soils, west-facing morning-sun slopes): Riesling is king in cool-climate whites — dazzling aromas of lemon, green apple, jasmine and honeysuckle, intense minerality, vibrant preserved acidity. Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, Gewürztraminer and Pinot Gris as complements; lake-ice effect moderates slow, balanced maturation.
The wine region of New York
America's 3rd wine state by volume, striking diversity. 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: Botrytis cinerea
This fungus, also called noble rot, develops during the over-ripening phase and is an ally of great sweet white wines, when it concentrates the juice of the berries. It requires the humidity of morning fogs and beautiful sunny days, gives musts very rich in sugar and brings to the wines the famous taste of "roasted".
