About the Long Island AVA

Long Island, designated 2001, is a maritime growing region at the eastern end of Long Island, New York. The Atlantic Ocean to the south and Long Island Sound to the north moderate temperatures year-round — summers are warm but rarely hot, winters are mild for the latitude, and the growing season is unusually long for the Northeast.

The maritime climate suits Bordeaux varieties especially well: Merlot is the most widely-planted red, with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon also important; Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc lead the whites. Two sub-AVAs nest inside Long Island — North Fork of Long Island (designated 1986, where most of the commercial production is concentrated) and The Hamptons, Long Island, on the south fork.
