Tasting Notes

A distinctive Long Island Chardonnay with expressive aromas and flavors of mandarin, lemon, apricot, ripe apple, anise, and subtle caramel, supported by a pronounced mineral and savory character. The palate is rich and textured, with bright acidity, layered fruit, and a long, slightly salty finish.

Taste

Complex and beautifully textured, with citrus and stone-fruit flavors balanced by mineral freshness and subtle savory notes. This is a more expressive, distinctive style of Chardonnay rather than a simple, fruit-forward white. The Macari Vineyard Chardonnay is associated with Abe Schoener's experimental, terroir-focused approach at Red Hook Winery.

Food Pairing

Excellent with roasted chicken, grilled or roasted fish, lobster, crab, creamy pasta, risotto, roasted vegetables, soft cheeses, and richer seafood dishes.

Perfect For

A fascinating New York Chardonnay for special dinners, seafood nights, wine enthusiasts, or anyone looking to explore distinctive Long Island wines with texture and character.
