Estate wines embody the region as well as a classical style of
winemaking, with a rich concentration of fruit and lively acidity born
of the unique terroir
of these Sagaponack vineyards, similar in some respects to those in
Bordeaux -- though unique in their own right. In fact, it is the
condition of the local soil, called Bridgehampton loam, a by-product of
the glacial moraine that formed Long Island, that provides a
perfect host for grapevines.
The German-born winemaker, Roman
Roth, together with vineyard manager, Richard Pisacano, spare no effort
or expense in tending to the vineyards and grape production, all to
exploit the full potential of the terroir and microclimate,
which is constantly bathed in cooler breezes from the Atlantic, only
2.6 miles away. It is this winning combination of climate and soil that
ensures the ripeness and acidity necessary for producing elegant wines.
