Description: Whitecliff is an artisanal family run winery created from the ground up by owners and founders, Michael Migliore and Yancey Stanforth-Migliore in 1979. Brad Martz joined Whitecliff in the 2010 harvest as a dedicated volunteer and brought so much focus, energy, and intelligence to the cellar work that he rapidly progressed to full-time winemaker. In addition to hands on work with Michael, Brad invested many hours in research with the Cornell University Extension while at Whitecliff. Brad applies the careful science necessary to make fine wine, but also brings great creativity with grape varietals that results in our interesting and ever-evolving wine list. Beautiful garnet color with aromas of dried currants, coffee bean, and vanilla bean. The wine is off-dry (slightly sweet) but extremely balanced where it is dry on the finish.
Food pairings: Jerk chicken, spicy foods, Thai style skirt steak, Teriyaki, cheese, etc.
