Chard-Riesling

April 24, 2017 by Corey Ameele

Chard-Riesling2017 Chard-Riesling

Finger Lakes

This delicious, distinctive, unoaked wine beautifully melds two Finger Lakes classics: the bright, green apple notes of Riesling and the subtle aromas and minerality of Chardonnay.

Viticulture

Grapes: Chardonnay 45%, Riesling 55%

Appellation: Finger Lakes

Harvest dates:

  • Chardonnay: September 19, 2017
  • Riesling: October 12 and 15, 2017

Viticulture Notes: The hallmark of these two cool climate grape varieties and the Finger Lakes terroir is a vibrancy of fruit, floral and mineral aromatics in our wines. The growth of the grapes is managed over a relatively short growing season to maximize ripeness and display even the subtlest aromas and flavors.

Alcohol by volume: 11.5%

TTB ID: 17004-001-000063

Winemaking notes: Stainless steel fermentation and aging bring out the naturally crisp, clean fruit flavors in this wine. The two grape varieties are fermented and aged separately. We conduct blending trials to determine the best balance between the two component wines. Finally, the blended wine is bottled young to preserve its fresh, vibrant fruit flavors.
