Research Cab is a very special wine to which only our Wine Club members have exclusive access since it is made in such small quantities. Born out of a long-standing relationship with a "Research" vineyard on the North Fork we fashion a deliciously expressive red wine out of what is essentially a field blend of many different varieties. Our 2021 vintage is comprised of 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 9% Saperavi, 5% Blaufrankisch, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot, 1% Sangiovese, 1% Barbera, 1% Malbec and 1% Dornfelder. All the fruit for this wine was harvested by hand, de-stemmed, stomped on by foot and punched down by hand. After an ambient/wild primary fermentation, the wine was racked to all older neutral French oak barrels where it spent a bit over two years maturing. The wine was only moved (racked) once and a mere 168 cases were bottled. Beautiful clarity and a translucent ruby core coupled with inviting aromas of red and black raspberry, black cherry, black plum, dark bramble fruit, spice, purple flowers, earth, resin and wet stone are met with an elegance of texture and a supple, smooth silky palate with enough underlying tannic structure and juicy acidity for the wine to develop and improve in the bottle. This is a young wine and while delicious already, will easily improve in the bottle for the next 8-10 years. Since it is hard to resist now, we recommend splash decanting the wine before you plan on consuming it! Pair this luscious, tasty red with Long Island duck, herb crusted lamb chops, beef and pork roasts or mushroom and grain-based dishes. But there isn't much 2021 Research Cab to go around and it is tasty...after we send our beloved wine club a bottle each, we only have a few cases left. So first come first serve for those precious bottles remaining of our dynamite 2021 Research Cab!
60% Tocai Friulano 30% Pinot Grigio 10% Sauvignon Blanc
Sparkling!
Our Bianco Pet-Nat is a symphonic white blend that is bottled at the end of its wild fermentation before it is complete, trapping the carbon dioxide in the bottle resulting in a lightly sparkling or Petillant wine. Straw-colored with inviting aromas and flavors of white flowers, tree fruit, stone fruit, yeasty bread, and salty minerals. A slight hint of sweetness balances the refreshing acidity and keeps you coming back for more sips of this super satisfying white sparkling wine. You can pair this one with just about anything from morning to noon, or tonight! 10% alcohol 138 cases produced.
We suggest standing bottle upright and chilling for 30 minutes prior to serving to avoid bubbling over.
We are very excited to offer you a new vintage of Ribolla Gialla! Ribolla Gialla is an ancient white grape variety most often found in Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Slovenia. This delicate, floral, high-acid white grape has documentation back to the 13th century in Friuli. Known as Rebula in Slovenia and likely Robola in Greece this variety has been celebrated for hundreds of years. There is very little grown in the United States...with most of the bottling's originating from George Vare's Vineyard in California. We grow a small plot here on our farm in the Scuttlehole and Brick Kiln vineyards. This is a small production skin-fermented white or "orange" wine, there are only 58 cases in 2020 and this Ribolla has a great deal of intrigue and charm and personality so it likely won't stick around. Our 2020 Ribolla is an aromatic and textural delight. Hand-harvested and fermented on its skins for 21 days, like a red wine, this wine displays a polished golden color and offers aromas and flavors of chamomile, yellow peaches, lemon curd, dried apricots, yellow plums, apple and pear skin, white flowers and salty minerals. There is a bit of grip and the wine offers great balance of fruit, light skin tannins, zippy acidity and moderate 12% alcohol which makes this wine amazingly spry on its feet for all the complexity. Our 2020 Ribolla Gialla is comprised of 100% Ribolla, and spent nearly a year in older neutral oak barrels. This wine offers boundless opportunities at the table from local fish and shellfish to fall veggies and root vegetables including squash, parsnips, potatoes, cauliflower and pumpkin to lighter white meats like pork and veal. Journey and explore with this wine...it is fun, delicious and a little bit like Jazz. 58 cases produced. Don't miss this rare, special and delicious wine!
We are thrilled to release the newest vintage of our delicious white wine, Mosaico. Mosaico is an exotic field blend that comes from a complanted block in our Sylvanus Vineyard on our farm in Bridgehampton. Our 2022 Mosaico is comprised of 32% Pinot Grigio, 29% Chardonnay, 14% Sauvignon Blanc, 10% Muscat Ottonel, 8% Gewurztraminer and 7% Tocai Friulano. This is a dry white wine where all the varieties were grown, harvested, pressed and fermented ambiently/wild together in a stainless steel tank. All the fruit was hand-picked and whole cluster-pressed, except for sixteen percent of the grapes which were fermented ambiently/wild on their skins in one-ton bins and blended back. This is a texturally delicious and aromatically unique white wine. The color is a beautiful light golden tone. The flavors and aromas are complex and deep, and range from citrus fruit (lemon), tree fruit (pears, apples), stone fruit (peaches, apricots), and tropical fruit (pineapple, mango, lychee). In addition, there are beautiful notes of flowers, honey, brown spices and our telltale saline minerality. The wine is medium-bodied, the alcohol and acidity are balanced, and the finish is long, clean, persistent and delicious. The 2022 Mosaico spent about a year on its lees in a stainless steel tank. Try this wine with all manner of fish and shellfish dishes as well as vegetables, chicken, pork or veal sausage and white meats that incorporate exotic and/or aromatic seasoning and spices. Our 2022 Mosaico is super delicious now and will offer great drinking opportunities over the next three to eight years. Only 288 cases were produced of the 2022 vintage so do not miss this wine.
Stoked to have this wine back as we have not made it since the 2015 vintage! Due Uve is a fun, playful and aromatic wine. Our new 2022 vintage is a supple, graceful, delicious and inviting experience. The 2022 Due Uve (two grapes) is a blend of 62% Syrah and 38% Refosco. The Syrah comes from the Mudd West Vineyard in Hallockville on the North Fork and the Refosco comes from our Home Farm Vineyard here on our farm in Bridgehampton. All the fruit was hand-harvested, de-stemmed into one-ton bins, stomped on by foot, and punched down by hand and shovel. After a wild/ambient primary fermentation the wine was racked to all older neutral barrels, where it spent ten months. Our 2022 Due Uve is a ruby red color with purple inflections and a translucent core. The wine is dry, medium-bodied and juicy, has moderate alcohol and is vibrant and tasty. There are floral, fruit, mineral and spice components to the flavor and aroma profile. Violets, blueberry, black raspberry, blackberry, black cherry, black licorice, wet stone, cocoa, cinnamon and just a touch of black pepper are some of the descriptors that come to mind. This wine possesses lightness and elegance but is robust and deep enough to tackle some exotic flavor experiences. Try with soy and teriyaki flavors as well as more classic preparations of fish, poultry, grain, pork, veal and pasta dishes. Due Uve is very attractive, very approachable and very versatile. This is an uber-delicious wine to enjoy in its vibrant youth and over the next 5-7 years with great satisfaction. Only 208 cases were bottled of the 2022 vintage!

A note about opening: To avoid foaming please make sure the bottle is well very chilled (on ice for thirty minutes) The colder the bottle the less foaming! You can also open very slowly...just cracking the crown cap slightly to let pressure release for a minute or two then you can continue to open slowly. If you open rapidly or the bottle is not well chilled just have your glass nearby to quickly pour...HAVE FUN AND ENJOY!!!!
The water that surrounds us defines and sculpts our Long Island region. The Great Peconic Bay, The Long Island Sound and especially for us here on the South Fork, The Atlantic Ocean. The Ocean creates and mitigates the climate and circumstances that shapes our wines. We love the Ocean and everything she provides. We also love Chardonnay and thought it would be great to celebrate a Chardonnay just from our fruit in Bridgehampton that is formed and grown under the influence of the almighty Atlantic Ocean.
We love a pure, clean style of Chardonnay that celebrates the fruit of our maritime vineyards and region and is very versatile at the table. For this reason, we ferment and mature this Chardonnay in stainless steel tanks with no secondary malolactic fermentation. This crisp, focused white wine displays aromas and flavors of citrus and tree fruits that is coupled with a salty minerality that sings of the sea. This delicious white wine reminds us of our Atlantic ocean: her beauty, refreshing breezes and the bountiful life it supports. Dive in!
In the spirit of our Heart: Artist Series projects we asked a good friend Tim Regan to use one of his amazing photographs of our ocean and the life in it for the new label. Tim is an amazing human and artist, a local waterman, lifeguard, drone pilot, photographer, fisherman and fishing guide among many other things and we feel honored to collaborate with him. His documentation and photography of the life in our local waters is truly stunning and inspiring. If you want to know what's going on in our Ocean then you must follow Tim and his work. This beautiful photo on the label, of an incredible Humpback whale diving, was taken just down the road from the winery on our local beach. A sight you can see daily from our beaches in the late spring, summer and fall months, it constantly inspires us. We hope this wine, this image, this story and our place inspires you too!
We are always very happy to release a new vintage of our lovely Blaufrankisch. Over the years this variety has proven its affinity with our climate and we love to use it both as a blending grape and as a varietal bottling. Our 2019 Sylvanus Vineyard Blaufrankisch is comprised of 75% Blaufrankisch and 25% Dornfelder. We feel the Dornfelder is a great match as a blending grape with its darker color, lower acid, briary, bramble and spice fruit character. This 2019 wine has a ruby-red colored rim with purple inflections and a transparent purple core. The aromas and flavors are full of black raspberries, blackberries, plums, boysenberries, violets, brown spice and black pepper. This is a dry, supple, sexy wine with Burgundian texture and great concentration. The alcohol is moderate (12%), the acids juicy and balanced, the tannins are present but soft, and the wine offers a great deal of pleasure and a long delicious finish. All the fruit was hand-picked from our Sylvanus Vineyard here in Bridgehampton on the South Fork, de-stemmed, crushed by foot and punched down by hand in small one-ton bins. The wine spent about 10 months in puncheons and barriques made from old French and Slovenian oak. Our 2019 Blaufrankisch Sylvanus Vineyard is a great match with venison, sausages, pork roasts, meatballs, duck, game birds, veal chops, hard mountain and washed-rind cheeses as well as earthy grain and squash-based dishes and mushrooms. This wine would also be a great choice for smoked bluefish and richer fish preparations. Our 2019 Sylvanus Vineyard Blau is still youthful and will age in the bottle easily for at least another five+ years! Irresistible now as well, it will benefit from decanting and large stemware! Enjoy. 208 cases produced. 1 case max per customer.

Delaware is a very old American Hybrid pink-skinned, white wine variety. Delaware was quite popular from the mid 1800's on. In 1905, in the great book "The Grapes of New York", it was written "Delaware is the American grape par excellence...for there is no variety of vitis vinifera more richly or more delicately flavored or with more agreeable aroma than the Delaware." Our Delaware is made in the Methode Ancestral style and bottled at the end of its fermentation before it is complete, trapping the carbon dioxide in the bottle resulting in a lightly sparkling or Petillant wine. This delicious bottle of wine is lightly sparkling, dry, has juicy acidity and moderate barely 10% alcohol. The flavors are delicate and filigreed. There is a chalkiness and fine mineral, citrus fruit and green apple character along with just a touch of the "grapey" aroma telltale of these varieties. The wine is refreshing, inviting and scrumptious. Pair this sparkler with the raw bar, fresh goat and sheep milk cheeses, light vegetable dishes, fluke, Black Sea bass, trigger fish especially with fruit and vegetable slaws...would even be great with a pork chop and mostarda.
We only made 168 cases of this delight so snatch it up and taste the possibilities and deliciousness our Delaware has to offer. 1 case max per customer.
This is a ridiculously fun, fascinating and delicious red wine! There are people in the world making red wines with a ripasso method and there are people in the world using a solera system of blending for some red wines but we know of no one, other than us, who have put both together to create a distinctive and tasty red wine! It all began with four barriques of 2004 Merlot that was taken out of barrel and re-passed over the fresh 2006 Merlot and Dornfelder fruit. The wine underwent another primary fermentation and was racked to barriques, hogsheads and puncheons where it underwent another malo-lactic fermentation. Half of the wine was taken and bottled after ten months in oak, and this was Variation One. The other half remained in barrel until the next harvest where it was re-passed over the 2007 Merlot, Syrah and Dornfelder fruit. It was all repeated and we bottled half as Variation Two. We did this again in the 2008 harvest and bottled Variation Three. This happened "Over and Over" again in 2009 for Variation Four and again in the beautiful, warm, dry 2010 vintage for Variation Five. Took a year off and the wine spent the time in barrel during the 2011 vintage, then we re-passed the lot again over the 2012 vintage for Variation Six and again in 2013 for Variation Seven and again in 2014 for Variation Eight and again in 2015 for Variation Nine and again in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 for Variation Ten, Eleven, Twelve, Thirteen and Fourteen and yet again in 2021 for this Variation Fifteen!!! This wine has undergone sixteen primary and sixteen malo-lactic fermentations and has in it memories of the 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 harvests. We WILL continue to do this over & over.
Variation Fifteen is bright with dark fruit and there is a purity of red and black berry expression coupled with an integrated oak component this year that is remarkably sexy and alluring. Violets, black raspberries, black pepper, black cherries, black plums, resin, prunes and brown baking spices are the primary descriptors that come to mind in this well-balanced, dry, medium-bodied and seamless red wine. This is a pure and polished variation of this wine with a silken mouthfeel. Yes, it does keep getting better with each new Variation. Delicious, long complex flavors and textures fill one's mouth and mind. The finish is persistent and shows great complexity and intermingling of both the mature secondary characteristics and its youthful attributes. This is a wine that reflects the old and the new, the North and the South, the warm and the cool and provides us with something entirely different to think about and experience. Drink this musical, lyrical wine with all manner of game birds, fatty fish, pork, veal, lamb, grains, mushrooms and root vegetables now and over the next decade plus. 228 cases produced. 12 bottle max per customer.
We are excited to offer you the new vintage of our Tocai Friulano! This delightful 2022 white wine is 100% Tocai Friulano from our Sylvanus Vineyard on the home farm in Bridgehampton. We are one of just a couple producers growing and making Tocai Friulano on the East End of Long Island, and one of only a handful in the United States. Our Tocai was harvested by hand, whole cluster-pressed, fermented and raised in stainless steel tanks on its lees for eight months. This white grape is native to the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region in Northeast Italy and our version offers wonderful aromas and flavors of green and yellow apples, white grapefruit, green almonds, minerals, talc, Asian pears and spice. Our Tocai is pale straw in color with gold/green reflections, the wine is bone dry and possesses a medium-body, moderate alcohol, juicy acidity and great persistence on the long flavorful finish. There is an alluring sea salt minerality that keeps you coming back for more. Our Tocai has a great mouthfeel and manages the very gratifying textural paradox of a light, fresh, aromatic wine with a weighty, fleshy, fluidity that is just delightful. This is the quintessential prosciutto wine and also works well with other hams, salumi, fresh cheeses, fricos, pastas and risotto. Also, white fleshed fish dishes and our local clams (in pasta, casino, baked, raw and on a pizza!) are a tasty match. We hope you enjoy this delicious and unique white wine. 198 cases produced. 12 bottle max per customer.
We always love offering a new vintage of Pinot Grigio as ours defies the usual expectations of the grape. Our 2022 Pinot Grigio is alive with aromas and flavors of tree-ripe peaches (yellow and white), Golden and Granny Smith apples, pears, white flowers, spice, a touch of honey and what has become a tell-tale note in our whites; a salty, chalky minerality. This lovely dry white wine is clean, alluring and focused with loads of personality and a silken mouthfeel. We have often said that Pinot Grigio gets a bad rap from the thin, dilute industrial examples and we are proud to enlighten the naysayers with a Pinot Grigio of superior character. For our 2022 version all the fruit was hand-harvested, whole cluster-pressed and fermented in a stainless steel tank. The wine was handled minimally and bottled after eight months on its lees. Our 2022 is composed of 100% Pinot Grigio. The wine possesses a pale straw color with green inflections, medium-body, moderate alcohol, medium acidity and ends with a long juicy, satisfying finish. The 2022 Pinot Grigio features fruit from both our home farm in Bridgehampton and from the Mudd West Vineyard on the North Fork, hence the blended Long Island AVA. We are proud of our Pinot Grigio and encourage you to drink it with local fish and shellfish (especially fried), sheep's milk cheeses, zucchini frittatas, light chicken dishes, pastas and charcuterie. We made 398 cases of this wonderful wine and suggest taking advantage of the real and very attractive quality/value ratio - a great easy-drinking, versatile, every day as well as any-kind-of party white wine!
Super tasty! Grapes from some of the oldest vines planted (in 1975, on their own roots) on Long Island! A beautiful pastel-like pale pink shallot color...the light color belies the red fruit character and aromas and flavors of red and black currant, watermelon, red raspberry, golden raspberry, spice and flowers...Plump, delicious, inviting, moderate alcohol, juicy and persistent...wonderful fruit intensity, a clean, satisfying finish...Match with smoked fish and charcuterie, tacos, lobster, sausages, tuna, grilled vegetables, and mushrooms. Gulpable! 228 cases made.
And now...The Envelope, please...
This wine is electric! The color, the aromas, the flavors, the textures all pulse with vitality. Our 2016 Envelope is exotic, enticing, exciting and is all about paradox. A white wine with color... made like a red...a white with tannin and structure...a full-bodied, broad wine with moderate alcohol and a cleansing, juicy quality with full malo-lactic fermentation! This is fantastic stuff! Our 2016 Envelope is an intriguingly aromatic and an intoxicatingly delicious skin-fermented "orange" wine. The flavors and aromas are reflective of dried apricots, peaches, honey, roses, lychees, brown spice, brown sugar, apple compote, minerals, butterscotch and dried papaya. This is nuts, yes there are those flavors too in this complex, inviting wine. Made from 52% Chardonnay, 30% Gewürztraminer, 14% Malvasia Bianca and 4% Albariño this is a dry, full-bodied white that has a gorgeous psychedelic orange appearance. This is a balanced, long wine that would be delicious with corn, squash, smoked ham, duck and figs, quince paste and cheese, seeds, root vegetables, caramelized flavors and most things porcine. Not to mention a good Cioppino or Bouillabaisse or Chowder! All the fruit was hand-harvested and was gently de-stemmed, crushed by foot and fermented on its skins. The wine was all co-fermented (all with wild/ambient yeast) for 16-25 days on its skin after which the wine was bucketed out and pressed off, then put in 23% new and the remaining 77% in old/neutral oak puncheons, barrels and hogsheads where the wine spent 22 months before it was bottled. Only 188 cases of this gem were produced!
Our Mudd Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc has become a CDW classic...a staple that gets snatched up very quickly. Our 2022 Mudd Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is a clean, crisp, aromatic dry white wine that displays mineral, citrus, stone and tree-fruit flavors and aromas. This wine was fermented entirely in stainless steel and was made from the fruit of some of the oldest Sauvignon Blanc vines on Long Island which were planted in 1975 (on their own roots!). The soil in the Mudd Vineyard is mostly the Haven Loam with some portions being Riverhead Sandy Loam. As always, all the fruit was hand-picked, whole cluster-pressed, and handled minimally. Our 2022 version is 100% Sauvignon Blanc. This is a dynamic wine exhibiting medium body, moderate alcohol, juicy acidity and a long lasting, persistent finish with beautiful subtlety and delicacy. The 2022 Mudd Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is fresh, vibrant, precise and alive! It possesses flavors and aromas of white grapefruit, lime, herbs, cut grass, talc, tangy white peach, a chalky, salty minerality and even some hints of tropical fruits and white flowers. Our 2022 Mudd Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is just plain delicious and will match well with local oysters and clams, fresh chevre, charcuterie, asparagus and egg dishes as well as most white-fleshed fish. Don't wait this year as we only made 288 cases.
50% Pinot Grigio 40% Muscat Ottonel 10% Pinot Bianco, and sparkling! This is one of the delicious Pet-Nat’s we made in 2022.
Our 2022 Sylvanus Pet-Nat is a field blend...a sparkling Vin de Terroir. Straw colored, inviting aromas and flavors of white flowers, tree fruit, musk melon, minerals and salty air. A hint of sweetness balances the refreshing acidity and keeps you coming back for more sips of this super satisfying white sparkling wine. You can pair this one with just about anything from morning to noon, or tonight! 10% alcohol 138 cases produced.
