The wine region of Long Island
New York AVA on Long Island, maritime climate moderated by the Atlantic, well-drained sandy soils and moraines. Only New York region focused on vinifera (warm enough for Bordeaux varieties). Merlot signature red king (~30%): supple and elegant with plum, red cherry, blackberry, herbs and iodine touch, fine tannins and fresh palate — cool-climate finesse. Peppery Cabernet Franc (bell pepper, raspberry), firm Cabernet Sauvignon.
The wine region of New York
America's 3rd wine state by volume, striking diversity. Finger Lakes the signature: cool-climate Riesling, dry to off-dry, mineral and lively with notes of lime, apple, evolving petrol and white flowers — a US benchmark. Warmer Long Island for peppery Cabernet Franc and supple Merlot. Hudson Valley (Seyval, Vidal).
