New York Wines

Some of the most popular varietals grown in New York include Cabernet Franc, Riesling, Chardonnay, Merlot, Pinot Noir, and Gewürztraminer.

Each region within the state offers unique growing conditions and soil compositions that contribute to the distinctive taste profiles found in New York wines. The Finger Lakes region is particularly known for producing exceptional Rieslings due to its cool climate and mineral-rich soils.

On Long Island’s East End, warmer temperatures allow for bolder red wines like Merlot and Cabernet Franc to thrive alongside crisp whites like Sauvignon Blanc.

In addition to traditional grape varieties, some winemakers also experiment with hybrid grapes or use fruit such as apples or cherries to create delicious specialty wines. Overall, New York Wine is a dynamic industry that continues to grow and innovate while offering wine enthusiasts an exciting range of tastes and experiences to enjoy.

Our New York Wines are all sourced from independent small batch producers, who have in recent years, been popping up throughout the state. Many of these vineyards are producing world-class wines that rival those found in more established regions like Napa Valley and Bordeaux.

By purchasing wine from small-batch producers, not only do you have access to unique blends and varietals that aren’t widely available elsewhere, but you’re also supporting local businesses and sustainable farming practices. These passionate winemakers put their heart and soul into every bottle they produce – making each one truly special.

If you’re considering a trip to New York visiting some of these vineyards or wineries would be well worth a consideration. All of our friendly producers love to welcome guests and share some of the fabulous wines they are creating. We are always very happy to facilitate this so if it is something that you would like to do, please do get in touch and can help.
