Our Kinds of Light wine series has returned, with three new seasonal selections.
As the summer winds down we hope you’ll share a bottle with friends lakeside, sip a glass on the porch while watching fireflies appear, serve it with a fresh garden supper or pair it with the crackle of a late night camp fire.
Rose Blend 2025
This Rose is a blend of Seyval Blanc, grown in the Finger Lakes, Chardonnay and Merlot, both grown on Long Island. Seyval Blanc makes up the majority of the blend and creates a zippy, citrus-forward wine with some lovely summer fruit notes from the young Merlot. We fermented all of these grapes in stainless steel and blended them to create a breezy, zesty summer sipper. We taste slightly under-ripe strawberries, lemon peel, and red ruby grapefruit.
Pink Blend 2025
A sparkling blend of Seyval Blanc and Merlot. Harvested from the Finger Lakes and Long Island regions of New York and naturally fermented. Both of these grapes were fermented in stainless steel, blended, and allowed to finish their fermentation in the bottle for a natural, Pet-Nat-like carbonation. Cold, pink, and bubbly, this is a playful and dangerously drinkable wine. We taste pink starbursts, cantaloupe, and sourdough bread
Merlot 2025
Our Merlot 2025 was grown and on the North Fork of Long Island and we pressed it as soon as we got the grapes back to the Hudson Valley. With just a few hours of skin contact, the wine is a beautiful light purple in color, and is wonderfully light and fruity. We made this Merlot in the spirit of young French Beaujolais Nouveau wine, which is typically young, fresh, and very fruit-forward. It’s a jammy, brambly wine that we like to drink chilled down to just about cellar temp, or even colder on a hot day. We taste blackberry jam, fresh figs, wild blueberries.
