Nose
Big aromatics with a nose that's both intensely floral and fruity at the same time.
Palate
Rich, yet lively, on the palate with a finish that doesn't stop.
Growing Conditions
Wagner Vineyards is situated on the eastern shore of Seneca Lake directly next to the deepest point in all of the Finger Lakes. At 640 feet or 107 fathoms deep, Seneca Lake's huge volume of water provides our vineyards with year-round temperature moderation. The lake's effect results in cool nights late into the growing season, preserving our grapes' natural acidity and leading to well-balanced wines.
