The Harvest Begins...

First up this year, Cayuga White 

Origin: A hybrid of Seyval Blanc X Schuyler, it was developed at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva, New York starting in the 1950’s.

New York Introduction: Released for commercial planting in 1972.

Atwater Introduction: 1982

Acreage: Atwater Estate Vineyard: 1.0 acres / Total New York: 266 acres

Viticultural Characteristics: Vigorous, moderately hardy vine with good disease resistance, Cayuga produces high yields of large, well-filled clusters.

How we use it: Cayuga can be vinified successfully from dry to sweet. This is a wonderful blending wine and we use it primarily in our Stone Bridge White.
