During the past thirty years, increased planting of Vitis vinifera varieties has led to a dramatic increase in the quality of New York wines.
New York State's wine production began in the 17th century with Dutch and Huguenot plantings in the Hudson Valley region. Commercial
production did not begin until the 19th century. New York is home to the first bonded winery in the United States of America, Pleasant Valley
Wine Company, located in Hammondsport. It is also home to America's oldest continuously operating winery, Brotherhood Winery in the
Hudson Valley which has been making wine since 1839.
The range of wines made in New York include Riesling, Seyval Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, sparkling wines, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The
Vitis vinifera varieties account for less than 10% of the wine produced in New York. Important American hybrid grapes grown in New York
include Catawba, Delaware, Niagara, Elvira, Ives and Isabella. French hybrid grapes grown in New York include Aurora, Baco Noir, DeChaunac
and Seyval Blanc, but Cayuga, Vidal and Vignoles are noted to make the best wines of the French hybrid varieties.
Vignoles is used particularly well in late harvest wines and ice wines. Of the Vitis vinifera varieties, Riesling is noted for the most consistent and
best quality wines, while wine made from Chardonnay grown in the Finger Lakes AVA is noted to take on characteristics of leaner styled
Burgundy white wine.
