Lilac Hill

May 19, 2016 by Corey Ameele

Lilac Hill

Finger Lakes

Our very popular Lilac Hill is an unoaked aromatic white wine with delicate fruit and floral notes. It is the Official Wine of Rochester’s famous annual Lilac Festival.

Viticulture

Grapes. Lilac Hill is a proprietary blend of French-American (Cayuga White) and vinifera (Muscat Ottonel and Riesling) grape varieties.

Appellation. Finger Lakes

Viticulture notes. We manage these types for maximum ripeness to allow their fruit and floral aromatics to intensify. Muscat Ottonel is responsible for the wine’s characteristic floral notes.

Winemaking

Fermentation. Stainless steel at cool temperature

Vintage. NV. Our winemaker can select the best from among different vintages of the component wines to optimize the harmony and complexity of the blend.

Alcohol by volume. 10.5%

Residual sugar. 3.5%

IRF scale. Medium Sweet

Acidity. pH 2.9, TA 9.1 g/L

Aging. In stainless steel tanks

Winemaking notes. Each of the component grapes’ juice is individually fermented at cold temperature in stainless steel tanks to maximize its aromatics. The three wines are then racked and undergo blending trials. The final blend is filtered, cold stabilized and bottled.
