Calico
This blend of native fermented Hudson Valley cider and Finger Lakes Gewurtztraminer wine is ready just in time for warm and sunny days.
We harvested the grapes by hand on a beautiful late summer day on Seneca Lake, fermented them whole, and later blended the wine with a delicate cider made from apples grown by Mead Orchards.
We let Calico rest for just over a year in neutral oak puncheons before bottle conditioning with local wildflower honey. It’s super dry, lightly tart, and smells like a spring flower in bloom.
