Vineyard
Our Seyval Blanc was harvested from Gibson Vineyards, owned and operated by Marty Gibson. Mr. Gibson hails from a prominent Finger Lakes wine grape growing family, and his ten acre vineyard on the west side of Seneca Lake is optimally located to take advantage of a unique microclimate that brings warm days, cool nights, and continuous gentle breezes.
Soil Type: 50% Cayuga Silt Loam, Eroded, 8-15% Slopes, and 50% Howard Gravelly Loam, 8-15% Slopes

Vintage
After a mild winter, bud break occurred in mid-March, very early by comparison to recent vintages. Late March presented wine growers with sleepless nights, as several frost events threatened this promising vintage. Although some damage occurred, Bellangelo and its premium growers endured the spring, only to experience a long, dry summer, with rains that were perfectly timed to provide necessary moisture to the vines, without too much moisture accumulation. In all, the 2012 vintage proved to be a near perfect vintage for the Finger Lakes, and a very special year for Bellangelo's fine wines.
