Atwater Vineyards

This signature red variety grows very well in our cooler climate. 

Our Rosé 2023 is deep in both color and flavor. Reminiscent of Rosé from Tavel, France, ours is a blend of 82% Barbera and 18% Blaufränkisch–both known for their dark skins. Red berries on the nose sharpen to expressive strawberry, rhubarb, and pomegranate arils on the palate. A crack of black pepper, chalky minerality, moderate acidity, and a supple mouthfeel make this a great dry wine for pairing heavier faire. Your summer barbeque wine.

Herbal aromatics give way to cherry cola, strawberries, watermelon, and a crushed gravel minerality on the palate. Featuring 85% Cabernet Franc from our neighbors around Seneca Lake and 15% Blaüfrankisch from our home farm, the wine is vibrant in color and flavor. Lively acidity balances the fruit, making it a perfect complement for food, like a goat cheese crostini topped with a berry compote.

Our Stone Bridge Red is an easy-drinking wine. The 2022 vintage is 80% Maréchal Foch from Keuka Lake and 20% Noiret from the west side of Seneca Lake. Blackberries, blueberries, cedar, and chocolate. An everyday red perfect for homemade pizza on the grill. The name and bottle art pay tribute to the historic “Cornette’s Stone Bridge”' located on the original road racing circuit that started in Watkins Glen, NY in 1948.
