 "We are absolutely thrilled and honored to receive this award. At Keuka Spring, we have always believed in Gewurztraminer as a premier grape for this region. It is perfectly adapted to this climate and makes a style of wine that is truly unique to the Finger Lakes. That's why we make three different Gewurztraminers, one being a regional blend and two that showcase vineyard sites that demonstrate special qualities. Gewurztraminer is a big part of what we do and who we are, and we hope this award shines a light on the fact that it needs to be central to the discussion of what New York does best." -Len Wiltberger
