Syrah Rosé

Currently Sold Out

Vineyard Notes

Our 2.88 acres of Syrah planted in 2014, is one of the largest plantings in New York of this early ripening, vigorous variety from the northern Rhône. The site we chose to cultivate this variety is on the furthest down-slope of our original 1805 farm. The site is well drained with deep Howard series soils. This site is steep and protected from strong winds, which also allows for good air drainage, protecting the site from both high and low temperatures throughout the year. Being a mid-ripening variety, we are able to select optimal flavor and sugar levels a little better than with some of our more traditional red varieties which ripen at the end of the season.

Winemaker Notes

Fulkerson Winery is becoming more and more interested in unique varietals such as Syrah. This is typically grown in France and Australia, but does very well in the Finger Lakes.
