- Ripening: Mid (rosé), late (reds) season.
- Characterized by bright red fruit; herbaceous, peppery, subtle earthiness depending on vintage.
- Lighter and fresher profiles due to our cool climate, increased acidity, and aromatics.
- Commonly used for wonderfully fruity and slightly savory dry rosé wines; one of the more popular grapes for rosé production in the region.
- Production styles vary from traditional oak aging to stainless steel and some amphorae.
- Bottled as single varietal wines, in Meritage blends with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and as a classic Finger Lakes blend with Blau/Lember.
