Entelecheia Wine Cellars Northern Lights 2024 Review
Inspired by the approachable crémant wines of France, this bottle from winemaker Matthew Denci brings a Finger Lakes spin to traditional method bubbly. It combines 72 percent Riesling, sourced from an old-vine block from local producer Sheldrake Point, with 28 percent Pinot Noir sourced from Serenity Vineyards near Geneva. An approachable, welcoming sparkling wine, it delivers notes of wild strawberries, fresh citrus, and candied orange peel. It was fermented in old oak barrels and spent one year on the lees, adding plush, creamy texture to the palate.
