Buttonwood Grove

Buttonwood Grove produces wines from Cayuga Lake in New York's Finger Lakes region, where cool-climate conditions favor aromatic white varieties and structured reds. The winery's Riesling Pét-Nat—a sparkling expression of the region's signature grape—has drawn attention from major critics including Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Falstaff, and Decanter. A Big Red Blend and Melody Pét-Nat round out the portfolio, the latter showcasing the Melody variety in sparkling form. Finger Lakes viticulture emphasizes precision and freshness, qualities evident across these offerings. The pét-nat category—naturally carbonated and lower in alcohol than traditional méthode champenoise—has gained traction among wine drinkers seeking approachable, food-friendly sparkle. Buttonwood Grove's focus on this style, paired with Riesling's natural affinity for the lake's terroir, positions the winery within a growing movement of New York producers exploring both classic and experimental expressions of their region's potential.
