The Producer
Forge Cellars
Forge Cellars wines reflect the place that they come from. When you smell one of their wines, you should be transported to its origins and be able to see the landscape. It should relate to good memories, and provide a strong feeling of identity. This is why at Forge Cellars they like to listen, be soft and transparent in our winemaking. Their choices in the cellar guard the purity of the vineyards. Simply put, they make wine in the traditional, handcrafted manner. Hand grape harvesting and sorting as well as all elaboration steps in the winery are done by hand, using indigenous yeast for very slow fermentations in hundreds of separate, small French barriques from more than a dozen different vineyards, each with its own story and personality.

The Finger Lakes wine producing area is the best known out of the ten American Viticultural Areas in the state of New York. This region produces world-class wines and is renowned for their Riesling, Chardonnay, and Cabernet Franc, as well as fantastic Pinot Noir and Gewurztraminer. The unique geography of these sloping landscapes tucked in-between 11 finger-shaped lakes provide the ideal growing conditions by drawing cool air off the vines. This keeps the vines warm to aid in a long, healthy growing season.
