Varietal

Cayuga

Cayuga, a versatile white grape varietal developed in the Finger Lakes region of New York, has garnered attention for its adaptability and flavorful wines. Created in the 1970s by Cornell University, Cayuga thrives in cool-climate vineyards, particularly those near the Great Lakes.

Cayuga wines are known for their balanced acidity, crispness, and pleasant aromatics. They often exhibit notes of citrus fruits, green apple, and pear, with hints of floral and herbal nuances. The grape’s ability to retain acidity even in challenging growing conditions makes it a reliable choice for winemakers in regions prone to frost and cool temperatures.

While Cayuga is frequently used in blends, it also shines as a standalone varietal, showcasing the unique terroir of the Finger Lakes and offering wine enthusiasts an approachable and enjoyable drinking experience.
