This wine is a lazy man’s rosé. It was made by blending our Frontenac Gris (white grape) with its sister grape, Frontenac (red grape). It has notes of tart cherry, orange rind and nectarines. This dry rosé is bold and has a strong acidic backbone, making it closer to a red wine than a white. Pair with pasta pesto, fried chicken or BBQ chicken.

Cayuga White, a popular Eastern hybrid varietal, is the base for this fizzy wine. Cayuga White grown in our vineyard is fermented dry leaving notes of tangerine, grapefruit and honey. Post-fermentation, we dry hopped with Citra imparting guava, mango and passionfruit. Next, we force-carbonated this wine and turned it into a wine/beer hybrid. It smells like an IPA and tastes like a fizzy, dry, white wine. This wine was invented by our winemaker who loves beer but can’t have gluten. This is the perfect after work drink and pairs nicely with a chicken dinner, BBQ, or pasta
Our estate Noiret is a medium weight red, somewhat similar to a Pinot Noir. The grapes grow in big, blue, juicy clusters and have thick skin, which gives this wine a deeper color and heavier mouthfeel. It has notes of raspberry, blackberry and spicy tones of black pepper and cocoa. This wine is well balanced – not oo fruity, not too dry. Try pairing with smoked BBQ ribs, chicken parmesan or pork tenderloin.
Our single varietal estate Cayuga White is dry and aromatic. On the nose there are notes of candied orange, white peaches and wet stony minerality. This wine has fruity aromas, yet finishes crisp and clean. Grown right here in our vineyard, our winemaker has the ability to pull this fruit in at the exact right moment when the sugars and acid come into balance naturally. This is an excellent food wine with enough backbone to stand up to heavier dishes such as homemade mac and cheese, clam chowder or pork chops.
Traminette is one of our favorite grapes grown here in our vineyard, which is why you see it featured 3 different ways on our menu. When Traminette ripens, it turns a gorgeous deep golden yellow-orange. Our Traminette is cold soaked in order to extract the maximum flavor and color from the skins. It has perfumed aromas that are both floral and spicy with notes of guava and citrus that linger on the tongue. Our Reserve Traminette is fermented to dryness making it an excellent food companion. Pair with a ham dinner, crab cakes or chicken broccoli alfredo.
Frontenac Gris is a white hybrid grape grown here in our vineyard. On the nose are aromas of pineapple, guava and bright citrus. This is a bright expression of Frontenac Gris, with bubbles delivering bursts of tropical fruit, and a dry, crisp finish. If you like Prosecco, chances are you will love our Sparkling Frontenac Gris. Enjoy a glass during a celebratory toast or pair with your favorite appetizer such as chicken wings, nachos or fondue. Or try using in your favorite champagne cocktail such as a Kir Royale or Aperol Spritz.
The Spirit of Woodstock is our flagship brandy. Distilled from St. Croix grapes and barrel aged, this Brandy drinks like a Bourbon. Our Brandy is kept on a Solera system with the ages in the blend ranging from 8 to 2 years old. With notes of sherry, vanilla and brown spices this brandy is dry, bold and delicious. Sip on its own or try it in your favorite Bourbon cocktails. It is an excellent base for an Old Fashioned, Manhattan, Side Car or swap out the vodka and make a Bourbon Mule.
Our Roseland Red is a blend of over 50% estate grapes; St. Croix, Noiret and Corot Noir. Each wine is vinified and oaked separately and then blended into this medium bodied red that is fruity, dry and smooth. Pair with your favorite Italian meal or anything off the grill.

Our estate Corot Noir is a light, fruit forward, dry red, somewhat similar to a Chianti. It has notes of red cherry, blueberries and earthy leather tones. Corot Noir is a hybrid grape.
