Hudson Valley fizz with a sense of place. Whitecliff is the standard-bearer for serious Hudson River winemaking, the Gardiner estate founded by Michael Migliore and Yancey Stanforth-Migliore back in 1999 and now run day-to-day by their son Tristan. North River is their pétillant naturel — a low-intervention sparkler made in the méthode ancestrale, fermented to dryness in bottle with no disgorging, no dosage, no makeup. The result is a slightly hazy, gently fizzy, refreshingly dry sparkling wine that wears its New York address proudly: tart orchard fruit, citrus pith, a savory herbal lift, and a chalky little snap on the finish. Pour it cold, pour it casually, and you've got the kind of wine that makes a strong case for the Hudson Valley.

More about Whitecliff

Whitecliff makes one of the strongest cases we know for the Hudson Valley as serious wine country, right in New York City's backyard. Its calling cards are the three things New York does best: cool-climate Cabernet Franc, Riesling, and Champagne-method sparkling wine.

The estate sits on former dairy farmland in Gardiner, with views of the Shawangunk Ridge. Michael Migliore, who studied chemistry in graduate school, began experimenting with vines here in 1979, and he and Yancey Stanforth-Migliore founded the winery in 1999. Michael was named New York's Grower of the Year in 2015, the first Hudson Valley grower to receive the honor. Winemaker Brad Martz has worked alongside him since 2010, and their son Tristan Migliore now runs the business as general manager.

They grow more than 20 varieties, pairing European vinifera with well-chosen hybrids, and take part in New York's sustainable winegrowing program. Cabernet Franc, well suited to the cold, damp climate, is the signature red, bright and peppery. The North River sparkling range, from traditional-method cuvées and rosé to a pétillant naturel, is where they really shine.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

A natural party wine — pour it with oysters on the half shell, fried chicken, soft-rind cheeses, charcuterie boards, summer salads, or anything off the grill. Also a smart Sunday brunch pour with eggs Benedict, smoked salmon, or quiche.

Tasting Profile

Dry, lightly hazy, gently fizzy. Tart green apple, lemon pith and underripe pear, with a savory herbal edge and a chalky, mineral snap on the finish. Low alcohol, high refreshment, no makeup.
