2020 Blaufrankisch – Sylvanus Vineyard The Hamptons, Long Island

,

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 2020 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 2020 wine has a ruby-red colored rim with purple inflections and an opaque 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, punched down by hand and fermented wild in small one-ton bins. The wine spent about 10 months in puncheons and barriques made from old French and Slovenian oak.

Our 2020 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 in addition to mushrooms of all sort. This wine would also be a great choice for smoked bluefish and richer fish preparations.

Our 2020 Sylvanus Vineyard Blau is still quite 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. 150 cases produced.

2017 Envelope — The Hamptons, Long Island AVA

,

Once a wine club member told us they were so enamored of the aromas and textures of our Envelope that they wanted to wear it like a perfume. This wine lives up to that desire.

And now...The Envelope, please...

This wine is electric! The color, the aromas, the flavors, the textures all pulse with vitality. Our 2017 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 2017 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. These flavors only seem to intensify with oxygen as the wine expands after opening. This is nuts, yes there are those flavors too in this complex, inviting wine. Made from 73% Chardonnay, 23% Gewürztraminer and 4% Malvasia Bianca. 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 18-25 days on its skins after which the wine was bucketed out and pressed off, then put in 50% new and 50% in old/neutral oak puncheons, barrels and hogsheads where the wine spent 38 months, yes 38, before it was bottled. Only 198 cases of this gem were produced!

2024 Tocai Friulano – Sylvanus Vineyard

We are excited to offer you the new vintage of our Tocai Friulano! This delightful 2024 white wine is 100% Tocai Friulano from our Sylvanus Vineyard on the home farm in Bridgehampton. We are one of just a couple of 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 six 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, white flowers, green melon and spice.

Our Tocai is pale straw in color with gold/green reflections, the wine is bone dry and possesses 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. This 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 or on a pizza!) are a tasty match. We hope you enjoy this delicious and unique white wine. 158 cases produced.

It is a field blend comprised of 48% Muscat, 27% Gewurztraminer, 20% Pinot Grigio and 5% 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 Sylvanus vineyard. All of the fruit was hand-harvested and co-fermented on their skins in one-ton bins for 18 days until dry. The wine was matured in a small stainless-steel tank for six months and bottled April 19th, 2024.

Our 2023 Sylvanus Skins has a golden color and possesses a clean, pronounced aromatic personality. The wine is medium-bodied, has moderate alcohol and juicy acidity.

Our Sylvanus is juicy, tangy and alive with a long gratifying almost spicy and saline finish. This is a delicious skin-fermented wine and will pair well with a wide variety of food such as local scallops or striped bass, stuffed squash blossoms, a plethora of cheeses, oysters and clams (or a clam pie!), bucatini carbonara, pork and veal, lightly spiced Indian food, sushi and charcuterie.

There is a lovely inter-play between the aromas, flavors and textures. There are ethereal qualities to this wine and its satisfying ripeness, pronounced aromatics and swelling textures encompass the paradoxical quality of aromatic lift, lightness and fleshy weight. Sylvanus Skins is super fly. 208 cases produced.

2023 Due Uve

Due Uve is a fun, playful and aromatic wine. Our new 2023 vintage is a supple, graceful, delicious and inviting experience. The 2023 Due Uve (two grapes) is a blend of 71% Blaufranksich and 29% Syrah. The Syrah comes from the Mudd West Vineyard in Hallockville on the North Fork and the Blaufrankisch comes from our Sylvanus 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 puncheons, where it spent ten months. Our 2023 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. The 2023 Due Uve is also quite happy being served slightly chilled! 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 218 cases were bottled of the 2023 vintage!

2021 Brick Kiln Chardonnay — The Hamptons, AVA

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 hogsheads (300L) and barriques (228L) for eight 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 2021 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 2021 Brick Kiln Chardonnay! 288 cases were produced.

2024 Sauvignon Blanc — Mudd Vineyard

Our Mudd Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is a CDW classic...a staple that gets snatched up very quickly. Our 2024 Mudd Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is a clean, crisp, aromatic dry white wine that displays mineral, citrus, stone and tree-fruit flavors and aromas. This juicy white 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!).

Our 2024 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 2024 Mudd Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is fresh, vibrant, precise and alive! It possesses flavors and aromas of white grapefruit, citrus fruit, herbs, cut grass, talc, tangy white peach, a chalky, salty minerality and even some hints of tropical fruits and white flowers.

2023 Pinot Grigio – Long Island AVA

We always love offering a new vintage of Pinot Grigio as ours defies the usual expectations of the grape. Our 2023 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 2023 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 ten months on its lees. Our 2023 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 2023 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 418 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!

2021 Cabernet Franc - North Fork of LI AVA

Cabernet Franc is a red grape very well suited to our Long Island terroir. We have made delicious, gulp-able Rosati out of it for years and are jazzed about occasionally offering this grape as a red wine with all the wonders that it brings to the table, our glasses and our souls. Our 2021 Cabernet Franc is a high-toned, bell-ringing and happy wine! Beautiful, melodic aromas and harmonious flavors of bright red fruit, raspberries, strawberries, cherries, currants and purple flowers coupled with a very faint sprinkle of herbs, silky textures and a wonderful lightness of being make this wine irresistible. Comprised of 75% Cabernet Franc and 25% Syrah from the North Fork this wine was hand-harvested, de-stemmed, crushed by foot and punched down by hand. The wine was fermented wild/ambiently and spent eight months maturing in older oak puncheons. Our 2021 Cabernet Franc was handled minimally and bottled on July 1st, 2022. This wine will pair fabulously with charcuterie, light meat dishes, grilled fish and vegetables, pastas, wood-fired pizzas and most anything coming from a pig! This wine is very easy to drink immediately...however it will continue to evolve in the bottle for the next five years at least, so grab some extra, taste the evolution and be a part of the Cab Franc revolution! 208 cases produced.

2021 Ribolla Gialla

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 bottlings 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 134 cases in 2021 and this Ribolla has a great deal of intrigue, charm and personality so it likely won't stick around. Our 2021 Ribolla is an aromatic and textural delight. Hand-harvested and fermented on its skins for 20 days like a red wine, this wine displays a polished deep 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 2021 Ribolla Gialla is comprised of 100% Ribolla, and spent ten months in older neutral oak hogsheads and puncheons. This wine offers boundless opportunities at the table from local fish and shellfish to fall and winter veggies and root vegetables including squash, parsnips, potatoes, cauliflower and pumpkin to lighter white meats like pork and veal. And don’t forget about the mushrooms! Journey and explore with this wine...it is fun, delicious and a little bit like Jazz. 134 cases produced. Don't miss this rare, special and delicious wine!
