Millbrook Winery

Bedient Vineyard White

This 50/50 blend of Cayuga and Seyval Blanc was tank fermented, with a portion aged in neutral French oak for a year before being racked, filtered, and bottled. It lifts from the glass with honeysuckle and wild rose, followed by a squeeze of lime zest and tangerine. A refreshing saline-acid tension drives the finish. Best enjoyed on a hot, humid summer day—ideally with a picnic lunch.

Hunt Country Rosé of Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc

Unoaked and medium-bodied, this vivid blend of Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, Traminette, Seyval Blanc, and Chenin Blanc is zippy, bright, and red-fruited, with vibrant honeysuckle aromatics and luscious melon on the palate. Made using the saignée method (except for the white varieties), it’s layered and long, with red cherry and pomegranate emerging on the extended finish. Winemaker Ian Bearup took over from John Graciano in 2021 and continues to guide this expressive, energetic style.

Seyval Blanc

Their first vintage of this hybrid variety, fermented in stainless steel after being crushed and directly pressed. The wine remained on gross lees for up to seven months before being racked and bottled. It’s a laser-focused, zesty white with lemon-lime brightness and white floral aromatics. Light- to medium-bodied, with a burst of orchard fruit on the mid-palate, it finishes vivid and intense, driven by saline-acid tension. Super bright and well layered.

Awosting White

A blend of Seyval Blanc and Vignoles, this semi-dry white is named after Lake Awosting in the Shawangunk Mountains. Medium-bodied, with floral lift and ripe orchard fruit, it shows a touch of sweetness balanced by incredibly bright, saline-laced acidity. The finish is marked by a wet stone minerality.
