Fox Run Vineyards

Lemberger 2023

750ml

  • Local

One of the Finger Lakes' strongest red grapes, Lemberger, also known as Blaufränkisch in Austria, presents exceptionally well as a young wine and also has serious aging potential. This light-bodied dry wine delivers aromas of fresh blackberries, raspberry jam, and hints of black pepper that follow through on the palate with rich plum, red cherry, and vanilla. A versatile wine, it pairs with just about anything, especially pizza, smoked gouda, and pork.

Fox Run Vineyards

Fox Run was a dairy farm in Penn Yann, NY, near Seneca Lake for more than a century. The first fine wine grapes were planted on the property in 1984, and it wasn’t until 1990 that the winery was founded by Larry and Adele Wildrick. Today the winery, which extends nearly 50 acres on mineral-rich, glacial soils, and produces remarkably excellent, limited production estate wines. Managed by Scott and Ruth Osborn, with Ruth’s sister and brother-in-law, Kathleen and Albert Zafonte, Fox Run aims to achieve full creative expression within each wine they produce, limited impact on the flora and fauna of Seneca Lake. The winemaking team, headed by John Kaiser and Craig Hosbach practices dry farming, and has introduced mycorrhizae fungi into our root systems to help bring more water and nutrition to the vines and soil. In addition, the winery planted a 4-acre monarch butterfly and bee sanctuary to support the local pollinator population.
