2014 Riesling - "The Knoll" Lahoma Vineyards

Red Newt Cellars premier bottling, this is the benchmark for Finger Lakes Dry Riesling and as powerful and textural as the very best that come from Germany, Austria, and Alsace.  From a small, one hectare Knoll that rises above the Lahoma Vineyard, the beautiful and ripe fruit that makes it into this wine can be enjoyed for many years to come.

2014 Riesling - Bullhorn Creek Vineyards

A textural and spicy dry Riesling that plays off the unique attributes of the long ripening required of Bullhorn Creek. Built to grow over many years in bottle in this delicate style which is a tribute to classic Finger Lakes Rieslings that have come before.  Citrus notes on the nose and palate, lead to a crisp finish.

2014 Pinot Gris - Curry Creek Vineyards

The 2014 vintage of Pinot Gris showcases the perfectly ripened fruit, picked on a cool October morning and tractored to Red Newt Cellars to enjoy an overnight cold soak before being pressed off. Aged on the lees for 8 months before being racked off, filtered and bottled. A dry, crisp fruit-forward wine has been sitting in the bottle since 2015 and it is drinking beautifully.

With the 2014 Pinot Gris, grapes, the goal is to respect Winegrowers John and Allison Santos' passion and the fact that their fruit bares little resemblance to a light and fruity Pinot Grigio. We aim to dial in the wonderful structure that make this wine a treasure in Alsace and now the Finger Lakes.

2014 Gewurztraminer - Curry Creek Vineyards

Curry Creek is managed to allow for maximum canopy area and minimal spraying. The fruiting zone is kept open to reduce disease pressure while the trellising reaches quite high for more leaf area and better ripening of the fickle Gewurztraminer grapes. The 2014 vintage is a bit drier in style than the most recent vintages of the Curry Creek Gewurztraminers, and highlights the bold spice of the vineyard site.

2014 Riesling - The Big H - Lahoma Vineyards

Lahoma Vineyards is located across Seneca Lake about three miles from Red Newt Cellars. This Riesling is exciting and racy with bright citrus aromas in the nose, a perfectly balanced palate with a luscious sweetness and edgy acidity, and a lingering finish of white peach and honey. The vibrant interplay of sweetness and acidity create a wine that is intriguing and pairs remarkably well with food.

‘the big H’ is named in honor of Harlan Fulkerson, the illustrious grower who makes Lahoma one of our favorite vineyards to work with. With a personality larger than life, we hope this off-dry Riesling lives up to both Harlan’s reputation and the quality and opulence of the Riesling grapes he delivers to us.

2014 Riesling - Sawmill Creek Vineyards - North Block 

Steps away from the "South Block" of this same vineyard, the similarities and contrasts of site and style are remarkable. A sweeter style of Riesling luscious fruits dominate the palate while the acidity of the wine allows for a lovely finish.

Inspired by the crystalline beauty and clarity of German Spatlese Rieslings, the Sawmill Creek 'North Block" Rieslings is the site we believe best suits that style of wine. With lower alcohol and higher residual sugar, the natural acidity of Sawmill Creek makes this wine wonderfully refreshing and feather light. Juicy when young but made to be aged for many years.
