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: Ugni blanc
White grape variety of Italian origin, and the main white variety grown in France. Its large bunches give fine, light and lively wines, suitable for distillation: today it is the main variety for making cognac and armagnac. Ugni blanc, which is a little richer in alcohol when grown in Mediterranean regions, is used in the blending of the Provence and Corsica appellations, often in association with other grape varieties that bring aromas and structure, such as clairette, grenache blanc or sauvignon. Ugni blanc is also used, on a secondary basis, in the production of certain white wines in Gironde (AOC Bordeaux, Entre-deux-Mers, etc.).
