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.

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!

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.

The last vintage we made this wine was 2016 so we are thrilled to have it back! This is is an enchanting, exotically-fruited, exuberant white wine! Our 2022 Cuvee Tropical is super aromatic and alive with white peaches, muscat grapes, yellow nectarines, golden apples, white flowers, pineapple, melon and that undeniable saline minerality that runs through so many of our wines. This light golden colored white wine is dry, medium-bodied with moderate alcohol and possesses a juicy acid balance. The wine is comprised of 58% Muscat Ottonel and 42% Chardonnay. The Chardonnay is multiple clones from our Brick Kiln and Scuttlehole Vineyards and the Muscat is from the Mudd West Vineyard on the North Fork. The Muscat was fermented wild/ambiently on its skins for 18 days and then rested in a stainless steel tank. The Chardonnay was also fermented wild/ambiently in a stainless steel tank and then the two lots were blended together. This is a delightful, gregariously aromatic, satisfying, jewel-like white wine. Our 2022 Cuvée Tropical is delicious on its own or as a match fish, poultry , fried foods, tamer blue cheeses and especially with mildly spicy foods. The Cuvée is also at home with shellfish (raw or cooked), white-fleshed fish and fresh cheeses. Our Cuvée Tropical is one of our wines that is always comfortable with a variety of world cuisines from Japanese to Indian to Mexican to Caribbean to Spanish and back to American, so we encourage experimentation. We made 408 cases of this wine. A final note...please do not drink this wine too cold - instead consume after just a few minutes in the fridge as to encourage its jovial, playful, perfumed personality. Cheers!

Our Vino Bianco is a delicious, symphonic white blend. This wine celebrates both forks of the East End of Long Island and has done so since its first vintage in 2001. Likely the first "white blend" in the region, it has inspired a slew of new blends from other producers creating a vibrant category in which the Long Island region excels. Our 2019 Vino Bianco is made from 50% Sauvignon Blanc, 40% Tocai Friulano, 8% Pinot Grigio and 2% Chardonnay. The wine is alive with aromas and flavors of citrus fruit, white flowers, golden apples, lemon curd, white peaches, pears, spice, chalky minerality and the sea. The wine is juicy and texturally satisfying, succulent, complex, long and beguiling. We believe in blending because it creates complex, complete and ultimately delicious wines. This is demonstrated by the versatility of the wine at the table. Able to pair with shellfish and fish dishes as well as feel comfortable with poultry, veal (vitello tonnato) and even pork, our 2019 Vino Bianco offers a wealth of opportunities, tastes and textures. For this wine, all the varieties were harvested and vinified (approximately 50% wild and 50% inoculated) separately, and then blended together. The Sauvignon Blanc, Tocai, Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio were all fermented and raised in a combination of stainless steel tanks as well as a few older oak barrels and hogsheads. This wine has benefited from some resting in the bottle and is absolutely delicious now and will drink wonderfully for at least another three to four years. 388 cases produced. No limits and a seriously great value!

We love Chardonnay! Often we crave a pure, clean style that celebrates the fruit of our region and is very versatile at the table. Our 2020 Scuttlehole Chardonnay certainly fits the bill. This is a captivating and salivatingly delicious bright and crisp 100% Chardonnay wine. This wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks with no malo-lactic fermentation, resulting in a dry wine with flavors and aromas of minerals, apples, pears, citrus fruit and lemon curd. This fresh, unoaked wine is medium-bodied with balanced acidity and moderate alcohol. The wine is wonderfully juicy with the textural interplay of both linearity and roundness that provides great pleasure and interest. There is a plump creaminess (especially this vintage), that is unmistakably Chardonnay. As always, the fruit for this wine was hand-picked, whole cluster-pressed, handled minimally and bottled by gravity. The Chardonnay (from the classic Dijon clones) was harvested from all our Chardonnay vineyards on the South Fork. Our Scuttlehole Chardonnay continues to be a favorite by-the-glass pour due to its terrific versatility in food pairing and our 2020 Scuttlehole Chardonnay continues the tradition of boundless pairing potential at the table. Comfortable with either complementary or contrasting flavors, try this wine with crisp, briny shellfish or oily bluefish and wild salmon; fresh cheeses, a citrus roast chicken or a fresh salad with duck confit. We encourage you to experiment with our Scuttlehole Chardonnay and your favorite foods as it is so adaptable, versatile and delicious. Drink now through the next 1-3 years. 1168 cases produced.

A new vintage of L'Enfant Sauvage is always released with great excitement. L'Enfant Sauvage is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes hand-harvested from our Brick Kiln and Sculpture Garden vineyards here in Bridgehampton. The grapes are gently whole cluster-pressed, the juice settled overnight and then all new French oak barrels are filled to the top. The ambient/wild/spontaneous yeast kick in and the wine ferments. The secondary malo-lactic fermentation also happens spontaneously and we leave the wine on its lees with no topping until blending and bottling. This release, our 2017 L'Enfant Sauvage, spent 14 months in barrel! The wine is delicious, elegant, satisfying, juicy, wild and complex! The 2017 L'Enfant Sauvage is a beautiful clear gold color and possesses clean, piercing flavors and aromas of apples, lemon curd, pears, just-baked brioche, pineapple, brown baking spices and salty minerals. The wine is dry, medium-bodied, has balanced acidity, moderate alcohol...and a long, complex, persistent finish. The aromas and flavors are fairly intense and long-lasting yet there is restraint, elegance and finesse enrobed in the rich, barrel-fermented style. One of the very rewarding aspects of L'Enfant is how approachable it is in its youth yet it really is a wine meant for 8-12 years of aging in bottle. It is thrilling to see the wine develop beautifully and still offer remarkable freshness, aliveness and potential for further development at six or eight or ten years of age. L'Enfant is always a great match for lobster, scallops, truffles, roast chicken, goose, wild salmon, arctic char and mushroom dishes. As we like to say, our 2017 L'Enfant Sauvage is a wine with a wild treble, a deep bass, a funky rhythm section, unforgettable melodies and beautiful harmony...don't miss the music! On December 14th, 2018 328 cases were bottled. 12 bottle max per customer.

Restraint...Elegance...Finesse. These are the words that consistently spring to mind after smelling and tasting a new vintage of Brick Kiln Chardonnay. Deliciousness and reflection of place are what we seek, and they continue to find a home in this graceful white wine. Crafted from 100% sustainably-grown Chardonnay grapes that were hand-picked from our Brick Kiln Vineyard in Bridgehampton, this beautiful white wine was whole cluster-pressed then barrel fermented and raised in older (two to ten-year-old) French and Slovenian barriques (228L) for twelve months. The resulting wine is light straw-colored with green and gold inflections and is bone dry, medium-bodied, possesses moderate alcohol and juicy, balanced acidity. There are gorgeous aromas and flavors of pears, golden apples, white flowers, nectarine, lemon curd, brown spice and a saline minerality. Very tasty now, this wine has the luxury of a few years of bottle age and is still unfolding in the glass slowly and with youthful complexity that suggests it will develop for a couple more years and drink well for a decade. Match this wine with salmon, arctic char, lobster pasta, smoked trout, ham, roast chicken, mushroom risotto or winter squash. Our 2017 Brick Kiln has a long, round, juicy finish that is persistent with great pleasure. It is wonderful to have a Chardonnay that offers richness, satisfaction and weight and which still offers a lightness of being and keeps you coming back for more. We are proud to offer you our 2017 Brick Kiln Chardonnay! 418 cases were produced. 1 case limit per customer.

This is a refined white wine offering medium body, moderate alcohol, juicy acidity and a long, persistent, tangy finish.

We are excited to offer you the new vintage of our Tocai Friulano! In 2017 it is a 100% Tocai Friulano blend of the two vineyards we work with, one from our home farm in Bridgehampton from the Sylvanus Vineyard, the other the Mudd West Vineyard in Hallockville on the North Fork! 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 and fermented, and raised in 60% stainless steel barrels and 40% older French oak barrels 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, marcona 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. 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. Our 2017 Tocai Friulano was bottled on May 16th 2018 and has enjoyed the benefits of some time in the bottle before release, a true luxury! 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. 398 cases produced. 12 bottle max per customer.

It is very exciting for us to be able to work with specific sites and see their imprint and expression upon individual varieties and blends. In 2005 we planted several varieties including Tocai Friulano at the Mudd West Vineyard with Steve Mudd. We are one of only a handful of producers of Tocai Friulano in the United States. We have made Tocai from our Sylvanus Vineyard in Bridgehampton since 2002 and thought it would be cool, interesting and delicious to make one from the site on the North Fork. The soils are a bit different, the North Fork site a bit drier and a degree or two warmer. Now we are proud to offer you the 2016 vintage of Tocai Friulano from the Mudd West Vineyard. This dry white wine was fermented in 28% old French and Slovenian oak barrels and 72% small stainless-steel barrels and offers medium-plus intensity of aromas and flavors. There are white flower and talc, fresh green almonds, white peaches, apple skin, brown spices, minerals, white grapefruit and something reminiscent of an ocean breeze. The wine is medium-bodied and has moderate alcohol and balanced acidity. There is a lovely, lengthy, refreshingly tangy finish. As always, the fruit was hand-harvested and whole cluster-pressed. The wine was bottled by gravity on July 14th, 2017. Match this long, pure, tasty wine with prosciutto, salami, porchetta, risi e bisi, fresh pea risotto or pasta, fava bean salads, fried fluke or fricos. Only 193 cases were made so do not wait. We recommend drinking this wine in the first 2-3 years after its release. 1 case max per customer.

Clones is a barrel-fermented chardonnay with a skin-fermented twist! Our 2014 Clones is wild, alluring and sexy. Clones is a unique white blend that is based primarily on ten distinct clones of Chardonnay and also includes five other grape varieties. The 2014 version is composed of 70% Chardonnay, 13% Tocai Friulano, 8% Sauvignon Blanc, 5% Pinot Grigio, 2% Muscat Ottonel and 2% Gewurztraminer,  This dry white wine is light gold in color with pronounced aromas and flavors of poached pear, toasted apple, minerals, brown spices, lemon glaze, lemon curd, honey, brioche, white flowers and marcona almonds. Our 2014 Clones is medium-bodied, has moderate alcohol, juicy acidity and a long, persistent, flavorful finish. The wine was fermented and raised in Slovenian and French oak puncheons, hogsheads and barrels of which 33% were new and 67% were older and neutral.  The majority of the wine, but not all, was fermented with ambient/wild yeast and went through a "natural" secondary or malo-lactic fermentation.   The oak integration (12 months spent in barrel) in our 2014 Clones is lovely and the balance of fruit, acid, alcohol and oak coupled with the finesse and paradoxical texture of rich and round with a precise and angular mouthfeel make this a truly excellent bottle of Chardonnay. The finish is long, complex and persistent. The fruit for the wine was all hand-harvested and the Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Tocai were whole cluster-pressed while a bit of the gewurz, tocai, pinot grigio and muscat were fermented on their skins and then blended back into the Chardonnay lot. The juice and wine were handled minimally and the wine was bottled by gravity on September 11th, 2015. The wine has benefitted from time in bottle and is irresistible now, however our 2014 "Clones" will improve for two or three years more in the bottle and drink well for at least another five years. Pair this tasty white with a roast chicken, smoked trout, crispy skin wild salmon or char, local bluefish, sautéed scallops, local monkish, mushroom risotto or a clam pie. 322 cases produced. 8 bottle max per customer.

Sylvanus is a wine of place, a vin de terroir. This bone-dry, aromatic white wine is a true field blend comprised of 60% Muscat, 30% Pinot Grigio and 10% Pinot Bianco all grown together, harvested together and fermented together. Sylvanus is not only the name of the wine, but also the name of the vineyard and the legendary Green Man who this vineyard and wine honor. In creating a field blend as opposed to blending different wine lots together, we are capturing the essence of our time and place as expressed by the vineyard Sylvanus. All of the fruit was hand-harvested, whole cluster-pressed, fermented in stainless steel barrels (42%) and older oak barrels (58%). Two bins of grapes were skin-fermented for 15 days and blended back in adding a punch of aromatics, flavor and texture. The wine was handled minimally and bottled by gravity on September 4th, 2015. Our 2014 Sylvanus is straw colored and possesses a clean, pronounced aromatic personality. The wine is medium-bodied, has moderate alcohol and juicy acidity. The flavors and aromas are reminiscent of grapes, tangerines, grapefruit, minerals and flowers like honeysuckle and nasturtium. Our Sylvanus is juicy, tangy and alive with a long gratifying almost spicy and saline finish. This is the perfect aperitif wine and also pairs with stuffed squash blossoms, fresh cheeses, oysters and clams on the half shell (or a clam pie!), light salads, or charcuterie. There is a lovely inter-play between the light, ethereal qualities of this wine and its satisfying ripeness and swelling texture. Our 2014 Sylvanus encompasses the paradoxical quality of aromatic lift, lightness and fleshy weight. 396 cases produced.
