Little Clover Wine Company Cayuga White 2018 Review
Erin McMurrough has long loved the smaller properties of Champagne. Winemakers that source from their own vineyards show their own sense of place in a bottle as opposed to the larger houses who buy from said growers. And then it came to her. Why not replicate that same sense of place in a bottle of bubbly from her estate in the Finger Lakes. A brilliant idea if we say so ourselves. This sparkling Cayuga White is a stunning example of how hybrid wines can show complexity and depth in the right hands. It has an inviting crisp apple-y nose with a whiff of white pepper. The palate is dry with a good medium weight and comfy bubbles. The wine has developed a great depth and richness from some time aging in bottle.
