Tasting Notes
William Vigne (Vin-Ya) was the first generation of Fulkerson’s in New Amsterdam in about 1619. The Vignes were one of 30 Walloon families selected by the Dutch West India Company to establish a permanent settlement in New Netherlands [New York, New Jersey, Delaware and Connecticut]. The original Company plan was to send only five or six men to set up a fur trading post on Manhattan Island. The grapes for this wine were Estate grown at the Fulkerson Vineyards on Seneca Lake. Light and luscious with yellow plum, sweet apple and melon flavors with a fresh crisp acid. Fermentation was stopped to ensure residual sweetness, no sugar was added.

Food Pairings
Serve with friends and summer barbeque. Enjoy with Ribs, Summer Salads or for after dinner.

100 % Fulkerson Riesling Grapes (a blend of our old Charles Fornier Clone and the German 239 clone). Made by stopping fermentation half way through to leave the natural sugars and delicate varietal character of the Riesling grape.
