GPAC is created from a blend of peaches and the hybrid grape Cayuga White.
The fresh peaches are pitted and pressed into a juice by our juicing company.
The Cayuga White grape is a hybrid developed at Cornell University from the Schuyler and Seyval Blanc grapes. It has good acid balance, structure, and pleasant fruity aromas.
The Cayuga White grapes are grown by Bellview Winery and the Peach is locally sourced.
We cold ferment the peach juice and Cayuga White juice separately in SS tanks and when fermentation is complete, blend them together. The wine stays in SS to age.
The Cayuga White wine is added to increase the acidity of the wine and imitate biting into a farm fresh juicy peach.
Served chilled at 55-60 degrees. Also makes great Sangria.
It has 5.5% residual sugar and 12-12.5% alcohol.
Musical reference is to John Lennon’s song Give Peace a Chance.
Given the salute to Lennon’s song, this wine is an ambassador for Auburn Road and our Wine Club. $0.25 per bottle will be donated on behalf of our Wine Club to a charity chosen by our Wine Club each March. This wine will hopefully spread a little peace with the charitable contributions it makes each year.
