GOLD: 2019 Finger Lakes International Wine Competition. A medium sweet Riesling - but the sweetest in Johnson Estate's portfolio of estate-grown Rieslings. Crisp, light with bright floral and lime zest aromas.
The 2017 harvest of the winery's two slightly different Chardonnay grapes inspired winemaker, Jeff Murphy, to use the later ripening clone to make this single varietal toasted oak Chardonnay.
Silver: 2019 Finger Lakes International Wine Competition. There is no oak in this crisp, bright wine made from hand-picked, estate-grown Chardonnay; the winery's second harvest from its new Chardonnay vineyards.
Bronze: 2019 International Eastern Wine Competition. Crisp and aromatic. Notes of orange blossom and lavender. Nice mineral finish; the essence of our "terroir" on the Lake Erie plain in western New York.
GOLD, 94 Points: 2019 International Eastern Wine Competition. This popular off-dry wine is crisp, aromatic, and attractively fruity with delicate character, reminiscent of a Sauvignon Blanc.
Silver: 2019 New York Wine & Food Classic. Our favorite summer wine, this Vidal Blanc has a fresh spring aromatic nose. Slightly sweet flavors of peaches and summer!
