Atwater Vineyards

A classic take on New York Chardonnay. White floral aromatics are joined by notes of apple, vanilla, and almond. Full-bodied with moderate acidity, this wine aged in neutral French oak for 7 months. Consider pairing with full-bodied foods like lobster rolls, perogies, or creamy risotto. 

Our Dry Riesling 2023 is our take on a “classic” Finger Lakes Riesling with an Atwater Vineyards twist. The wine is crafted with grapes from four vineyards across Seneca and Cayuga Lakes. Each was fermented separately in stainless steel before blending. Notes of nectarine, pear, lime, and green apple are present on the nose and palate. Partial malolactic fermentation drives a slightly more textural experience on the palate. Pair with sushi, duck, or Thai. 

The Greek word éktasi (έκταση) translates to "expanse" in English. We believe this perfectly reflects Atwater Vineyard’s skin-fermented blend, an enthralling wine with intense and complex flavors that will open your palate and delight your senses. Yamas!

Our Grüner Veltliner Skin Ferment is a new take on the increasingly popular aromatic grape. Sourced from Fulkerson Vineyards and Atwater Estate grapes, this golden-yellow wine offers aromas and flavors of yellow apple, Bosc pear, and melon with dried nectarines, Brazil nuts, toffee, and Grüner’s classic white pepper. Skin contact and malolactic fermentation provide texture through tea-like tannins. Consider pairing with chicken Pad See Ew or veggie stir fry. 

Our 2023 Vignoles starts with healthy aromatics of honeysuckle and citrus blossom. As you sip this semi-dry wine, you’ll notice an intriguing effervescent pop on the palate alongside pineapple, mango, sumo oranges, and lime zest. A chalky minerality and dynamic acidity counterbalance the fruit.
