The fruit for this blend is sourced from Seneca Lake vineyards. The soils from the sites range from silt loam to shale stone. Partial whole cluster fermentation helps this wine maintain a more fruit forward profile, as well as delicacy and freshness.
Producer Information
Nathan K wines was founded in 2011 by Finger Lakes native, Nathan Kendall. Having travelled the world focusing on cool climate regions and varieties, his intention was always to return to the shores of Seneca Lake and make wines in an old world style using quality grapes and minimal intervention.Having traveled throughout the world focusing on cool climate regions and varietals, the Winemaker’s focus is on Riesling and Pinot noir. All lots are carefully sorted, and the pristine fruit then undergoes long spontaneous fermentations. Post fermentation, the wine ages for months on the gross lees to enhance the texture. Wines are then carefully racked, never fined, and gently filtered before bottling. The bottled wines then receive 2-3 years of bottle age to evolve and achieve the best possible expression of the Finger Lakes.
