Macari Vineyards, located in Mattituck, New York, is owned and operated by the Macari Family. The winery was founded by owners Joseph Macari Sr., his wife, Katherine, and Joseph Macari Jr., who is at the helm of the winery with his wife, Alexandra and their children. The Macari family has owned the 500-acre waterfront estate for over fifty years, though Macari Vineyards was not established until 1995, and is now certified organic.
This is a texturally stunning wine, a holdover from the 9 months spent aging in stainless steel tank concrete eggs. It’s broad and mouth-filling while remaining bright and balanced. Ripe melon and citrus flavors are accented by notes of white flowers and the most subtle citrusy herb notes. But it’s really the mouthfeel that stands out here. Surprisingly complex and balanced.
