Macari Vineyards, located on the North Fork of Eastern Long Island in Mattituck, New York is owned and operated by the Macari Family. What were once potato fields and farmland has become a vineyard of 180 acres of vines with additional fields of compost, farmland, and a home to cows, goats, Sicilian donkeys and ducks. Macari is on the cutting edge of viticulture and is dedicated to a more natural approach to winemaking. Joseph Macari, Jr. is recognized as a pioneer in the movement towards organic and sustainable farming on Long Island, employing principles of biodynamic farming since the vineyard’s first plantings. Extensive soil preparation, rich composts, careful cover cropping and a consideration to wildlife and terrain makes Macari's 180 planted acres stand out from the rest. Taking into account the health of the environment as a whole, and moving away from the harmful effects of pesticides to a more natural and meticulous caretaking of the soil and plants, ultimately yields premium wines.
RATINGS: RECOMMENDED - New York Times
"When aficionados debate whether chardonnay or sauvignon blanc is the North Fork's most promising major white, a strong case can be made for sauvignon blanc, especially when the version produced by Macari Vineyards in Mattituck is cited. Like its predecessors, Macari's pale, tangy and stylish 2005 edition is an aromatic, slightly herbal crowd-pleaser. Fans of Macari sauvignon's creamy texture and its lingering grapefruity flavor, which has almost a gin-and tonic snap, will not be disappointed."
