A beautiful panorama<\/strong> over the Finger Lakes<\/strong><\/em> wine region<\/strong>..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

New York\u2019s Finger Lakes<\/em> and Long Island <\/em>AVAs<\/em> wines offer contrasting yet equally compelling terroirs<\/em>. Together, these AVAs<\/em> showcase the diversity and quality of New York wine. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Long Island AVAs<\/em>, shaped by maritime influence, allow estates like Channing Daughters<\/em> in Bridgehampton to craft expressive wines such as their Pinot Grigio<\/em> \/ Ramato<\/em>, combining skin fermentation with layered fruit and floral notes. In contrast, the Finger Lakes AVAs<\/em>, moderated by glacial lakes and cool climates, support elegant, aromatic white and red wines.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, Buttonwood Grove Winery<\/em> on Cayuga Lake produces crisp, Unoaked Chardonnay<\/em>, Boundary Breaks<\/em> on Seneca Lake highlights Riesling<\/em> and Cabernet Franc<\/em> with bright acidity, and Osmote<\/em>, a small family winery, creates low-intervention Chardonnays<\/em>, reflecting the region\u2019s freshness and mineral character.  <\/strong>By AP<\/em><\/p>\n

A coppered<\/strong> label to drink alone or with friends<\/strong>..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We start this wine tour<\/strong> with the Channing Daughters<\/strong><\/em> domain, located in Bridgehampton<\/strong>, surrounded by the various vineyards <\/strong>in Long Island<\/strong>, where the estate<\/strong> cultivates their vines<\/strong> with an artisan<\/strong> and respectful<\/strong> approach, over 28 acres<\/strong>. Their dozen of grape varieties<\/strong> are hand-harvested<\/strong> and pressed<\/strong> in whole clusters<\/strong>, before being vinified in stainless-steel tanks<\/strong> before aging on the lees<\/strong> for about ten months<\/strong>, to fully express their unique microclimate<\/strong>. Their signature Pinot Grigio \/ Ramato<\/strong> cuv\u00e9e<\/em> exemplifies this philosophy<\/strong>, offering a sort of oraange wine, issued from skin fermentation<\/strong> and a layered bouquet of ripe peaches<\/strong>, apples<\/strong>, pears<\/strong>, white flowers<\/strong>, honey<\/strong>, and spice<\/strong>, all wrapped in a silky <\/strong>texture. By blending traditional <\/strong>techniques with innovative <\/strong>approaches, especially with seafood<\/strong>, delicate fish<\/strong>, mild cheeses<\/strong>, or delicatessen<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Another Chardonnay<\/strong> <\/em>to discover in your wine<\/strong> glass<\/strong>..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Therafter, located on the western <\/strong>shore of Cayuga Lake<\/strong>, still in the Finger Lakes<\/strong> wine region of New York State<\/strong>, the Buttonwood Grove Winery<\/strong><\/em> produces small-batch, hand-crafted wines<\/strong> on a family<\/strong>-owned farm<\/strong>. The estate<\/strong> grows several classic grape varieties<\/strong> and creates old-world <\/strong>inspired wines<\/strong> that highlight the unique glacial soils<\/strong> of the area. Among their white wine <\/b>offerings, their 2024<\/strong> Unoaked Chardonnay<\/strong><\/em> stands out for its fresh, fruit<\/strong>-forward style<\/strong> without any barrel aging<\/strong>. Fermented in stainless steel tanks<\/strong>, this juice<\/strong> reveals vibrant orchard fruit <\/strong>aromas, followed by grapefruit<\/strong> and lemon<\/strong> notes on the palate<\/strong>. Its flavor<\/strong> then extends into a soft, lingering finish<\/strong> with hints of pineapple<\/strong> and white peach<\/strong>. With slight residual sweetness<\/strong> and low alcohol<\/strong>, this crisp and refreshing Chardonnay <\/strong><\/em>juice beautifully pairs with grilled fishes<\/strong>, seafood<\/strong>, cheese <\/strong>platters, and fresh fruits<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Why not tasting a Riesling<\/strong> <\/em>from the Finger Lakes<\/strong><\/em>?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Founded in 2008<\/strong>, the Boundary Breaks<\/strong><\/em> has become a leading estate<\/strong> in the Finger Lakes<\/strong>, specializing in cool-climate <\/strong>varieties, such as Riesling<\/strong> <\/em>and Cabernet Franc<\/strong><\/em>. Located on the east side <\/strong>of Seneca Lake<\/strong>, the estate farms<\/strong> nearly 190 acres<\/strong>, using sustainability-certified <\/strong>practices, producing high-quality fruit<\/strong>, that has earned recognition<\/strong> from major wine publications<\/strong>. Here, their Dry<\/em> Riesling #239<\/em><\/strong> is crafted from fruit<\/strong>, harvested later <\/strong>than usual<\/strong> for a dry<\/strong> style, allowing the grapes<\/strong> to develop rare tropical <\/strong>aromas. On the palate<\/strong>, the vibrant acidity<\/strong> balances this ripe <\/strong>character, resulting in a wine<\/strong> that is bright<\/strong>, expressive<\/strong>, and energetic<\/strong>. Fermented <\/strong>in stainless steel<\/strong> with selected yeast<\/strong>, it sits at 13% alcohol<\/strong> and remains technically dry<\/strong>, while maintaining impressive aromatic<\/strong> intensity. Boundary Breaks<\/strong><\/em> delivers a modern, elegant Riesling<\/strong> <\/em>that reflects the terroir<\/em> of Seneca Lake<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Why not tasting also this beautiful Chardonnay<\/strong><\/em>?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At last, the Osmote<\/em><\/strong> wine domain<\/strong> pays tribute to the elegance of the Finger Lakes<\/strong><\/em> and to the vital influence of these glacial lakes<\/strong>, which moderate their surrounding climate<\/strong> and allow vineyards to thrive. A small family winery<\/strong>, producing around 2,000 cases <\/strong>per <\/em>year<\/strong>, since Osmote<\/strong> <\/em>follows a low-intervention <\/strong>philosophy, relying on native-yeast <\/strong>fermentations to best express the character of each site<\/strong>. The tasting room<\/strong>, set beneath a striking timber-framed <\/strong>pavilion with a slate-stone <\/strong>terrace, offers sweeping views over Seneca Lake<\/strong> and the surrounding vineyards<\/strong>. Their Seneca Chardonnay<\/strong><\/em> wine perfectly reflects this quest for natural balance<\/strong>. From the warm 2024 vintage<\/strong>, it shows a richer, more opulent<\/strong> style, with a soft entry<\/strong>, silky texture<\/strong>, and a lively acidic <\/strong>finish. Subtle French oak<\/strong> brings gentle spice<\/strong> and warmth<\/strong>, enhancing flavors of cream<\/strong>, peach<\/strong>, and ripe stone<\/strong> fruit<\/strong>. Therefore, dry<\/strong>, precise<\/strong>, and harmonious<\/strong>, this Chardonnay<\/strong> <\/em>captures the fresh, cool-climate<\/strong> character of the Finger Lakes<\/strong><\/em> region.<\/p>\n
