Todd on this wine: “An evolution of our Noiret coferment from 2019, with equal amounts of Riesling and Noiret. Still a fun experiment in tempering the peppery notes of Noiret with some white grapes.”
Grapes: 50% Riesling, 50% Noiret (American red hybrid developed by Cornell University)
Vineyard: Folts Farm, Finger Lakes. Sustainable
Vinification: Whole cluster Noiret was foot tread, then Riesling was crushed and destemmed on top and maceration continued for 2 additional weeks. Pressed directly into neutral French oak barrels. SO2: 20ppm at crush
Notes: Bright red cherry fruit with some tropical notes, white and black pepper, and well-integrated acidity.
