Red Wines
In the 1980s, several prominent experts declared that the Finger Lakes terroir (our soil, climate, terrain and other factors) would never produce a good red wine. Well, let's call it the 30-year overnight success! Here we are, with a variety of reds that we think you'll enjoy.
Our approach at Keuka Spring has been to adapt our growing and winemaking processes to be harmonious with the natural proclivities of our red grape varieties. Several years ago we shifted our fermentation of our red wines from oak barrels to tanks. The results are reds with softer tannins and a rounder mouthfeel that we believe beautifully balance the wines' natural fruit aromas and flavors. We're delighted that our customers have embraced this change!
Named after our co-founder's grandmother Clara, enjoy this fruity, sweet and refreshing wine.
The perfect selection at a special price! These classic Keuka Spring wines pair beautifully with a host of dishes and sides.
One of our best-selling and favored wines. Dry, soft, deeply-hued and full-bodied, this is a blend based on classic Bordeaux varietals.
Back by popular demand, our Brusco, pays homage to the Italian Lambrusco wines that inspired its creation.
This wine is dry and smooth, with hints of cherries, soft tannins and a little light pepperiness in the finish.
Savor this smooth, off-dry red wine with rich plum and cherry flavors that dance in your mouth.
Blaufränkisch, also known as Lemberger, is an Austrian grape grown selectively in the Finger Lakes. This dry red wine has an earthy nose with wonderful smooth black cherry and pomegranate tones. Fuller than a Pinot Noir, try our Blaufränkisch with pork loin, burgers, and steaks.
STOP PRESS: Our 2021 Blaufränkisch was awarded Best Red Wine in New York State at the 2023 NY Wine Classic.
Epic Reserve is a rich blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Saperavi. Enjoy this wine of distinction and depth with juicy meats like steaks, pork roasts, or chops, pasta with white or red sauces, and other hearty dishes.
