Few vineyards in the region still bother to work with the Niagara grape. The French hybrids are much more popular.
However, cold fermentation, proper vineyard management sticking to low yields and luck produces far better wines than many of the overfertilized Chardonnays we are getting from Arizona and Mexico.
This was yesterday, me in a couple of rows of Riesling, wishing we could have harvested a bit later.
