Food pairing
It can pair with a fuller flavored fish such as salmon, and is a great accompaniment to cheeses. We love it with a nice steak and a side of grilled red bell peppers.
Vineyard
100% Cabernet Franc is selected from 3 different Finger Lakes terroir sites. The soil for 2 of the vineyard sites has a rich mix of clay and shale, and the third has limestone soil.
Winemaking
Owners/Winemaking Team: Céline & Sébastien LeSeurre
21 days of skin contact with the first 4 days in cold soak. Aged 22 months in French oak barrels (1 out of 3 new oak barrels). We determine when to harvest by tasting the grapes for optimal ripeness, resulting in a more fruity and complex style; 2 pumping over twice a day, (morning and evening) except 3 plugging during these 21 days of skin contact. That allows a gentle and slow extraction. No enzyme and no tannins added.
