This marks our inaugural release of Sauvignon Blanc, a variety beautifully suited to the cool-climate conditions of the Finger Lakes. Fruit was sourced primarily from Nutt Road Vineyards, a historic site on the western shore of Seneca Lake whose gentle slope, steady airflow, and lake-moderated temperatures encourage slow, even ripening. The Loire Valley is widely considered the benchmark and spiritual home of Sauvignon Blanc, and the Finger Lakes' cool continental climate, lake-moderated temperatures, and shale and limestone-influenced soils mirror those conditions closely. Plantings across the region have grown noticeably over the past decade, and we are proud to add our voice to that emerging chorus with this debut.
The wine was fermented entirely in stainless steel to safeguard freshness, primary fruit, and the site's mineral signature, with no oak influence to mask the variety's expressive character.
