End of Summer Wine Releases: Baco Noir & Forte Bianco
Aug

End of Summer Wine Releases: Baco Noir & Forte Bianco

We’ve got two beautiful varietal releases for the last hot, hot dog days of summer. Celebrate their release at the winery this weekend with:

  • wine tastings & bottles for purchase

  • live music from Amy Varckette 1pm-4pm

  • lunch & dinner specials at Field & Vine, our vineyard restaurant

2022 Baco Noir

This red wine holds lovely notes of vanilla and toasted oak complement chewy tannins andbright acidity. Fruit-forward and intense with a deeply violet color, this wine is big and unapologetic. Dark chocolate, fruit leather, and cedar.

2022 Forte Bianco

This port-style wine is a tropical fruit bombshell of pineapple, mango, and guava, followed by apricots, cantaloupe, and yellow peaches. The mouthfeel is silky smooth with a refreshing acidity to keep it from feeling cloying. The brandy is well integrated and provides a delicate floral structure that is intoxicating. This wine is lovely with desserts but makes for a wonderful digestivo on its own.

July 4th Weekend at Knapp

July 4th Weekend at Knapp

Celebrate July 4th weekend on Cayuga Lake

We’ve got an exciting 4th of July weekend here at Knapp Winery. Join us for a double release of some beautiful summer wines, live music, tastings, specials at Field & Vine & more!

 

WINE RELEASES

Enjoy wine tastings, wines by the glass, and take a bottle (or two…) home for the summer. We’re extremely proud of Executive Winemaker Vanessa Hoffman for these two new beautiful vintages.

2022 Barrel-Fermented Riesling

Hoffman transferred her favorite Riesling juice to barrel for fermentation. For 8 months after fermentation, barrels were stirred twice per week. This varietal is more textural than our other Rieslings–round, complex, with a very dry finish. Will age well over the next 5-10 years.

2022 Siegerrebe natural orange wine

With just a few cases produced, this is a very special release.

Harvested by hand, foot stomped, fermented with native yeast as whole clusters, hand-pressed–this Siegerrebe is a labor of love and an ode to antique winemaking.

The skins were left on for just over a week, a key characteristic of what makes orange wine (not the orange flavor contrary to popular belief). The final product is unfined and unfiltered with beautiful aromas of orange peel, orange blossom, baking spice, and lychee. Its beautiful orange color is derived from the skin contact. With lots of phenolic character, this wine is still very approachable.

Pssst..we’d love to hear your feedback on this one as we’re thinking to release it on a larger scale in the future!

LIVE MUSIC

Hot Dogs & Gin

Saturday, July 1 | 1:00pm–4:00pm
