Cayuga
PA - Pennsylvania
Riesling was one of the first varieties we planted back in the day. It grew beautifully, but would rarely ripen enough to make a classic wine. Riesling needs a lot longer growing season than we can give it in most years. Fortunately, the good folks at Cornell University had the answer-Cayuga White. A progeny of Seyval, with a flavor profile similar to Riesling, but ripening much earlier. Excellent with crab legs, or with German sausage and paté.
