Frederick Spencer Johnson (1921-1998), grew up on the farm his father purchased. He served in World War II as a naval aviator, graduated from Cornell University in 1946, and then raised his family overseas while working for Nelson Rockefeller’s various agricultural endeavors. When Frederick Spencer returned to the farm in 1960 after his father died, he removed the aging fruit orchards and was first farmer or "pioneer" in Western New York to plant French-hybrid wine grapes in a region completely dominated by Concord and Labruscan juice grapes. His favorite French hybrid grape was Chancellor. Frederick Spencer opened the winery in 1961, receiving New York Farm Winery license No. 2.

White

Pronounced floral spice aromas followed by flavors of citrus and lime zest. 

A popular French-hybrid wine. A small-berried dark grape which is the first to ripen, our award-winning Maréchal Foch is semi-dry, rich, very dark red and simultaneously fresh and mellow. A very happy companion to just about anything with goat cheese. A rich, smooth, and velvety vintage of Maréchal Foch.

Crisp, citrusy, and aromatic, moderately dry and attractively fruity with delicate character, reminiscent of a Sauvignon Blanc.

Semi-dry, perfectly balanced fruity Riesling. Bright and aromatic with melon and peach notes.

This Vidal Blanc has a fresh, aromatic nose reminiscent of the spring season. Slightly sweet flavors of peaches and summer!

A medium sweet Riesling - but the sweetest in Johnson Estate's portfolio of estate-grown Rieslings. Crisp, light with bright floral and lime zest aromas. 

Sweet white wine with a fresh and fruity grape flavor. Our grandfather began making this type of wine in the farmhouse basement during Prohibition.

Sweet

Made from grapes that have ripened and frozen naturally on the vine. 

Liebestropfchen translates to "little love drops". Rich, fruity, semi-sweet wine similar to a fine French Sauterne. Our grandfather began making this type of wine in the farmhouse basement during Prohibition.

Made from grapes that have ripened and frozen naturally on the vine.

Sparkling

Rosé

A rare rosé ice wine made from a combination of Vidal Blanc and Chambourcin grapes, with fine, mousse-like bubbles made in the méthode champenoise tradition.

A limited edition bottling of our Founders' Red in honor of Veteran's Day

A dry red blend with black fruit and chocolate notes. Fruit forward, medium body, fine tannins, and light oak.

Red Blend

Delightfully mellow, semi-dry, light-bodied red wine with a fresh and abundant fruit character, reminiscent of Beaujolais.

Soft, smooth red wine; excellent everyday table wine similar to Lambrusco. Made from estate grapes - Concord, Maréchal Foch, and Delaware.

Slightly sweeter than Proprietor's Red, but with similar Lambrusco fruit flavors in a smooth red blend. Soft and fruity.

Delightfully semi-sweet wine with a brilliant garnet red color and a mellow, yet very distinctive fruit character that compares very favorably to a Lambrusco.

A Provençal-style dry rosé made from estate-grown Pinot Noir grapes.

This saignée Ruby Dry Rosé is rich and flavorful, crisp and refreshing. Bright notes of berries and watermelon lead to a full palate of fresh fruit with a zesty finish.

The delicate color of the wine reflects the light red hue of the grape, and the wine's full, fragrant and fruitful sweetness is delightfully reminiscent of the Delaware's fully-ripened flavor.
