Nathan K. “Primeur” Cabernet Franc 2024
- Land: Nathan K. Wines are rooted in the cool climate and fertile soils of the Finger Lakes region, particularly near Seneca Lake where Nathan Kendall founded his winery. This area is renowned for its ability to support cool-climate varietals such as Riesling, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay, which thrive in the long growing seasons and are shaped by the unique terroir of the region.
- Wine: The 'Primeur' Cabernet Franc is a vivid expression of Nathan Kendall's minimalist philosophy, focusing on terroir-driven characteristics. Through natural, spontaneous fermentation and extended lees aging, the wine emphasizes the inherent qualities of the Cabernet Franc grape, offering a nuanced, elegant profile typical of the best Finger Lakes wines. This approach ensures that the wine reflects the specificities of its environment, presenting a balanced and restrained style.
- People: After years of global winemaking experience, from Sonoma to Mosel, Nathan Kendall returned to his native Finger Lakes to produce wines with a distinct sense of place. His work, including the 'Primeur' Cabernet Franc, exemplifies a commitment to local viticulture and a deep respect for the wine traditions of the region. Additionally, his collaboration with Pascaline Lepeltier on the Chëpīka project highlights a shared dedication to reviving and celebrating the historical wine styles of the Finger Lakes, bringing a fresh perspective to this rich viticultural heritage.
