Lenz Cuvée Sparkling RD

​For years, The Lenz Winery in Peconic has been one of the North Fork’s most respected and successful producers. Winemaker Eric Fry is something of a legend. He is a microbiologist by training, and spends a great deal of time ensuring that the pH of his wines will naturally prevent infection while providing the best possible flavor. He goes as far as fermenting different portions of the same grape juice in different manners, and then blending the results back together in a proportion to bring out the most complex flavors possible. Together, vineyard manager Sam McCullough, their experience and familiarity with North Fork growing conditions and fruit results in some of the area’s best wines.

This is similar to Lenz Cuvée except that is was disgorged after a dozen years and released six months more under cork. Bittersweet floral perfume, toast, caramel and buckwheat in the nose; startling freshness of pit fruit and citrus on the palate and remarkable transparency to persistently wafting florality: saline, alkaline mineral nuances and toasted grain. - Winemaker notes
