Finger Lakes, New York, USA
Rkatsiteli is an old grape. Extremely old. It’s mainspring was Georgia and is worth knowing just how flexible and “survivable” these vines have been.
Here’s a cherry that O found on Wiki:
“This ancient vinifera originates in Georgia and is one of the oldest grape varieties.[1] In Georgia, clay vessels were found with seeds of Rkatsiteli grapes which date back to 3000 BC.”
The color is a lemony bit of gold. The nose is bright and laced with melon and touches of peach. The body is a rush of refreshing acidity that round out on the palate in a “zesty fashion” which stamps those refreshing flavors in the back of your mind.

Solid dry Riesling. Chiseled, racy style with bracing acidity. A tad one-dimensional, but nonetheless delicious and a worthy food companion.

Crisp and refreshing. Dry with a tense acidity that balances lemon, peach and petrol

One of our favorites. Floral on the nose and subtle hints of fruit complement the unique Finger Lakes taste.

Lime zest and curry on the nose. Crisp citrusy goodness on the palate.

Our first Finger Lakes wine of the trip. Very pale in colour, refreshing dry Riesling. Nice acidity and went down way too easy. #kindredfare #flxwine
