Wine News Winemaker's notes on the 2007 Vintage
By all accounts 2007 is shaping up to be an exceptional vintage. Warm sunny days abounded this summer with modest rainfall making growing conditions almost ideal. Yields are at or slightly below average with good sugar content and relatively low acids. We are paying close attention to overall balance in the grape must...in particular, we are not allowing the white varietals to "hang" too long. This will retain the natural crispness which could be compromised when acids drop too low. As for the reds we plan to let them continue to benefit from this extraordinary stretch of sunny days here in the Finger Lakes. Look for a few new wines next summer including Atwater's first Pinot Gris and a Vignoles inspired Celsius. Cheers!
