Winemaker Nathan Kendall is a Dundee native, but has made wine internationally, to great acclaim. Nathan has been named a Wine Enthusiast’s Top 40 Under 40 Tastemakers as well as VinePair’s Winemaker of the Year.
N. Kendall wines was founded in 2011 by Finger Lakes native Nathan Kendall. He is an internationally trained Winemaker who has experience in Sonoma, Willamette Valley, Waipara (NZ), Adelaide Hills (AUS), and Mosel (GER), although the plan was always to return to the shores of Seneca Lake. His passion is to create wines in an old world style using quality grapes and minimal intervention.
Having traveled throughout the world focusing on cool climate regions and varietals, Nathan’s focus is on Riesling, Pinot noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, and sparkling wine.
All lots are carefully sorted, and the pristine fruit then undergoes long spontaneous fermentations. Post fermentation, the wine ages for months on the gross lees to enhance the texture. Wines are then carefully racked, never fined, and gently filtered before bottling.
We feel the best way to express the unique terroirs of each of our individual sites is by using low intervention winemaking.
We are now operating under our winter hours and are open Friday – Sunday from 11 – 5.
We ask that you limit your group size to 6 people or less.
While reservations are not necessary, they are helpful if you know ahead of time that you will be visiting us.
At this time we are not accepting buses and kindly ask that all limousines call ahead.
The Seneca Lake Wine Trail is easily accessible and convenient to get to! Whether you are a New Yorker coming in for the day or traveling from farther away, we are an experience you won’t want to miss!
