When Louisa & Alex Hargrave founded Hargrave Vineyard in 1973, a new industry was born on Eastern Long Island NY. The Hargraves had the foresight to recognize the potential of the North Fork of Long Island. Through research, soil testing and intuition, the Hargraves realized that the maritime microclimate was remarkably similar to that found in Bordeaux.
Two years later Long Island's pioneer estate vineyard released its first wines. During the course of three decades, the Long Island wine industry has grown to expand across both forks of eastern Long Island, only 70 miles east of New York City. Today there are over 50 vineyards planted on approximately 3000 acres. The vines have matured to yield high quality, vinifera varietal grapes similar to those used by French and Californian wine makers.
Long Island has earned a reputation for producing world-class Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Other popular varietals include Sauvignon Blanc, Gewürztraminer, Shiraz and Viognier.
