Atwater Vineyards

The Blaufränkisch 2023 opens with an intense bouquet of violet and licorice, followed by a medley of cherries, cranberries, and red plum. The palate is composed of fresh strawberries, plums, tart cranberries, baking spices and a hint of fresh black peppers accompanied by lively acidity and a medium body, complemented by soft tannins ending with a lengthy finish.  

Our Rosé 2023 is deep in both color and flavor. Reminiscent of Rosé from Tavel, France, ours is a blend of 82% Barbera and 18% Blaufränkisch–both known for their dark skins. Red berries on the nose sharpen to expressive strawberry, rhubarb, and pomegranate arils on the palate. A crack of black pepper, chalky minerality, moderate acidity, and a supple mouthfeel make this a great dry wine for pairing heavier faire. Your summer barbeque wine.

You might notice the deeper color of our 2024 Pétillant Natural Zweigelt/Diamond. This year, we decided to amp up the Zweigelt (65%!), resulting in more color, flavor, and fun. Notes of cranberry and red cherry lead on the nose, joined by watermelon, pomegranate, and raspberry on the palate. The wine is crisp, light-bodied, and low-alcohol. Perfect for pairing with snacks like chips and salsa or nachos.

Our Stone Bridge Red is an easy-drinking wine. The 2022 vintage is 80% Maréchal Foch from Keuka Lake and 20% Noiret from the west side of Seneca Lake. Blackberries, blueberries, cedar, and chocolate. An everyday red perfect for homemade pizza on the grill. The name and bottle art pay tribute to the historic “Cornette’s Stone Bridge”' located on the original road racing circuit that started in Watkins Glen, NY in 1948.
