2021 ended up being a strong vintage in spite of challenges in the form of intense humidity earlier in the summer and several significant rain events. The rains were well-timed. Just before bloom and just before veraison, and other rain events were spaced out and came and went quickly. September and October were very warm with plenty of sunshine resulting in a full ripening of the crop. We were fortunate to conclude our harvest before the Nor’easter storms of late October.

Fresh, crisp, racy, and bracing. Redolent of grapefruit with more subtle notes of pineapple, melon, apple and guava. Slightly off-dry, light to medium-bodied with a medium length finish.

It makes an excellent companion to various white meat fish dishes, such as striped bass, flounder, cod and lobsters and especially oysters.
