Following the tradition in Alsace, the Edelzwicker wines are blends of: Riesling; Gewurztraminer; the Finger Lakes own grape – Cayuga White; and other white varieties. These wines, like the 100% vinifera wines, are made in small batches and are minimally processed. The use of the fairly neutral, disease resistant, and heavy yielding variety Cayuga White, allows them to be bottled as an affordable wine. With careful blending they can create a delightfully crisp and complex wine.
Varieties: ~50% Cayuga White; ~45% Riesling; ~5% Gewurztraminer
