Our Stone Bridge White 2023 label celebrates Cornett’s Stone Bridge—part of the original 1948 road racing circuit in Watkins Glen, NY. Likewise, this wine celebrates New York’s hybrid grape history with a blend of Vidal Blanc, Cayuga White, and Traminette. Aromas of honey and pear are joined by apricot, with nectarine rind, pineapple, and a hint of ginger with moderating acidity on the palate. With a body that stands up to fuller foods, pair with items like brie, crab, and mac & cheese.

Our label is based on “Cornett’s Stone Bridge” located on the original road racing circuit that started in Watkins Glen, NY in 1948.  A portion of every bottle sold will be donated to the International Motor Racing Research Center in Watkins Glen.  Artwork by Robert Gillespie.

 

Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
The 2023 vintage started off with a hard freeze in May, resulting in widespread shoot damage across the Finger Lakes. Fortunately, most of the region was able to bounce back later in the summer. Disease pressure was alleviated by a dry September, making for a smooth first half of harvest. October had some rain during the first few weeks but finished with cool and sunny days. From a wine chemistry perspective, the 2023 vintage is more typical of a "classic" Finger Lakes vintage-- with both red and white wines showing well. The tannin and color in the red wines are somewhere in the middle of the road-- not as intense as 2022, but much more substantial than 2021. The white wines have slightly elevated acidity and will age quite well.
