Description
This vibrant wine celebrates a true piece of Finger Lakes history, showcasing the very first grape variety ever released by Cornell University specifically for winemaking. Grown on the steep, slate-rich slopes of Keuka Lake, the fruit is allowed to hang late into the season to concentrate natural sugars while retaining a pristine, clean profile. The result is a beautifully luscious pour that balances its sweetness with a jagged, refreshing acidity that prevents it from ever feeling heavy. It is the perfect choice for those who love tropical fruit flavors but demand a crisp, electric finish.
