Whole cluster pressed, fermented and aged in stainless steel. Vibrant pink color with bright acidity and flavors of raspberry and beach plums, and a stony minerality

A rosé blend starring 43 year old Gewürztraminer vines. The fruit was hand-picked and gently pressed off its skins into neutral French oak for barrel fermentation. This lends the wine fresh patisserie notes and softens the intense floral character the grape is known for.
Unlike a traditional Cab Franc that is fermented with skins for color extraction; this small batch was gently whole-cluster pressed and fermented and aged in stainless steel with no skin contact. A red wine made like a white wine. Flavors of white peach, eucalyptus, nutmeg, and savory herbs define this dry, aromatic stunner.
The first North Fork wine with it's own playlist! AUX is made with 100% Auxerrois, a grape native to Alsace which we grow and hand-harvest from a single acre vineyard on our estate. Fermented with wild yeast in stainless-steel, resulting in this beautiful and elegant dry aromatic white wine.
These grapes were hand harvested from just one single row of vines on the estate. Grapes were pressed whole cluster and racked into one neutral French oak barrel for wild yeast fermentation. Pinot Blanc was aged in the barrel for 7 months, undisturbed. This alluring dry white is un-fined and unfiltered, capturing the natural essence of minimal intervention winemaking and taking the “small batch” concept to another level.
Our first ever orange wine is a delectable treat! Hand-harvested clusters of Pinot Gris were crushed and fermented on the skins just as we do when making red wines. The result is a gorgeous orange color and creamy full body owing to the tannins derived from the grape skins. Definitely a must-try from Corey Creek this vintage!
