Caywood Vineyards

However, since Caywood Vineyards is listed among the wines produced by Wagner Vineyards, we can infer some information about it. Wagner Vineyards Estate Winery produces a range of Finger Lakes wines, including Chardonnay from Caywood Vineyard. The winery's focus on sustainable viticulture and showcasing the unique terroir of the Finger Lakes is evident in their wine production. Wagner Vineyards has three locations, with the Visitor Center open to the public for guided tours and self-guided exploration. Forge Cellars, a separate winery, was founded by Rick Rainey and Louis Barruol, and is known for its Riesling wines, as well as other varieties like Chardonnay. Their Caywood Vineyard Chardonnay 2024 has received high praise from critics, showcasing the complexity and nuance of Finger Lakes Chardonnays. The Finger Lakes region, where both wineries are located, is characterized by its unique terroir and long growing season, thanks to the moderating influence of Seneca Lake. The region's "Banana Belt" on the east side of Seneca Lake provides optimal conditions for grape growth and ripeness.
