The 2019 Brut is comprised of pinot noir and pinot meunier from our Estate Davis Vineyard, pinot noir from Hector neighbors, Sawmill Creek Vineyard, and of chardonnay from Cayuga Ridge Winery. The 2019 vintage was a wonderful season for the Finger Lakes and especially for sparkling wine. The growing season was quite temperate with moderate temperatures and rainfall throughout the summertime, which allowed the fruit to ripen slowly and evenly. In sparkling wine, acidity is the main driver of quality and in moderate seasons the acids tend to decrease at a normal rate rather than taking sharp decreases due to high heat events.

2019 Vintage Notes

Winter of 2018-19 was pretty mild, resulting in little to no bud damage and setting us up for a good year of growing to come. 2019 started with a pretty “by the books” finger lakes spring, with an on-time start to the growing season; no late frosts to hassle us and a reasonable amount of rainfall. The growing season was warm but not hot, with moderate rain which tapered off by the fall to leave us with a nice mild harvest season. The weather cooperated well and allowed the vines to achieve full ripeness and flavor development. Overall, a solid growing season finished with a nice easy, harvest.
