Vineyard
At the southern end of Corchaug Estate, 11 acres of Pinot Noir were planted in 1996, comprised of four clones selected from the best french clonal varieties grown in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. This is to date the largest successful Pinot Noir vineyard on Long Island.
On the north end of our farm the soil is rich with clay much like the best vineyards of Bordeaux. Here we have ten acres planted with three clones of Merlot.
Based on the french tradition, our vines are spaced closer than most in the region.
