Palate
This truly dry Riesling is an outstanding dinner wine, with slate, minerality, citrus, and just a whisper of tree fruit.
Growing Conditions
Our Caywood East vineyard is situated just south of the winery on a steeply sloped gravel site overlooking the mid-section of Seneca Lake. For more than 90 years, this site has produced exceptional grapes.
Bottling
March 26, 2019, Stelvin closure.
Limited quantity, Library Wine. Club membership required for access.
Winemaking
The site was replanted entirely to Riesling on a new Scott-Henry trellis system in 2005. Caywood East is comprised of 3 Riesling clones: #90 & #198. The clones were separately harvested & fermented in stainless prior to blending.
Aging
Stainless steel at 64 degrees F
Food Pairing
A superb and versatile food wine. It's slightly round mouth feel makes it a perfect match for fin fish, seafood, chicken, pork and mild cheeses. For something different try this with your next barbeque featuring Italian sausage. Try in place of champagne at your next brunch!
