100% Pinot Noir. 2023 is the second vintage from this 40-are (0.4-hectare) plot of Pinot Noir on a western-exposed, Kimmeridgian limestone ridge minutes south of Saint Bris and west of Irancy. Planted in 1990 and farmed organically with low yields (35 hl/ha). The bunches are hand-harvested, left in...

All of the Kumquats were hand picked whole in Malaysia. Two week maceration in French wheat NGS. Infused with Citrus peels. Distilled once on a column still. After filtration they slowly reduce with Fair Trade Cane suger and non-gmo French NGS. The kumquat and natural citrus infusion meld to...

All of the * Chipotle peppers harvested from Brazile. Then smoked. One week maceration in French wheat non-GMO NGS. Distilled once on a column still. After filtration they slowly reduce with Fair Trade Cane suger and  deminineralize water.   18% ABV

"Les Menais" comes from the town of Varrains and the soil is composed of sand on limestone. The vines are thirty years old on average. Aged for six months in concrete tanks. The "Menais" has a quite elegant side to it, with pure strawberry and raspberry notes, a mineral back bone and a peppery...

Duveau makes two reds from the famous "Poyeux" vineyard in Chacé. Contrary to what you would expect, the "Bas Poyeux" has little top soil and is composed of sandy limestone on top of rocky green chalk. The vines were planted in 1960. It's aged in a mix of cement and barrels. On the palate, it...

Thirty year-old Chenin Blanc grown in alternating layers of calcareous sand on tuffeau (green chalky limestone found in the Loire Valley) in the "Hunaudière" vineyard in the town of Saint-Cyr. Aged for six months in concrete tanks and neutral barrels. On the palate there is great tension with lime...

From the single vineyard "Bois du Chêne" in the village of Brézé with a sandy, loam, and chalky soil. Aged for 18 months in barrels. These are the oldest Chenin vines at the winery, planted in 1960. Total production is only 400 bottles. Extra special and extra limited. Super fresh, lime acidity,...

A blend of three varieties from Restoration Farm in Bethpage, NY - Roxbury Russet, Black Gilliflower, and Newtown Pippin apples. This orchard supplies fruit from trees with 30+ year-old rootstock, and are totally unsprayed. The cider was made of fully ripened "drops" as opposed to fruit picked or...

A blend of Grimes Golden, Ben Davis, and unknown red fleshed apple varieties from a backyard orchard of 40+ year-old trees in Orient, NY. Harvested in several passes over the month of November, and pressed in early December. 7% abv.

The lone 2022 from the offering! This Riesling comes from a small backyard vineyard in Cutchogue, NY. The fruit was fermented on skins for two weeks before pressing to complete fermentation in barrel, and further aged for 23 months before bottling. 12% abv.

Cabernet Franc from Mattituck, NY, on the North Fork of Long Island. The fruit was harvested on 10/28/23, whole cluster foot crushed and macerated for three weeks before pressing to complete fermentation. The wine aged in barrel for 10-months before bottling. 12% abv

The "vulture slate" vineyard, planted to 65-year-old vines in a gorgeously situated cool side valley of the Mosel. Eleven months on the lees and 12g/l RS at bottling imbues this with fantastic texture and an overall character of relaxed confidence. Then the slate hits the finish like a mic drop....

This off-dry wine is a textbook, ultra-classic, bullseye of a Mosel Riesling-- balletically balanced with the sugar reined in tight so the wine has amazing "cut" and its blue-grey Devonian slate origin sings through. SOMMELIER ALERT.

From 90-year-old ungrafted vines. A vivid young Riesling nose is followed by a bright, light, crystalline wine with crunchy, crispy, terrifically refreshing acidity. Green apples all over. Obviously, this is embryonic. But if this is a harbinger of what's to come from Stefan in 2023, BRING IT ON...

"GW" is an in-house designation for Grosses Wintricher or "Great Wintricher," Stefan's equivalent of a GG designation.  "I don't exaggerate when I say that 2017 is one of the finest vintages in 30 years for us." -Stefan Steinmetz

"Very flinty with a ton of grilled grapefruit this is a dangerously energetic dry Mosel Riesling. The concentration and brilliance are both almost off the scale." -Stuart Piggott

"The greatest wines in the world are sometimes imposing and dramatic, but sometimes they are like this filigree beauty that has staggering concentration, but no less amazing refinement. What a breathtakingly perfect balance right through the titanically slatey finish, extending out to infinity." -...

Easily the most showstopping Pinot we tasted with Stefan in April 2024. WOW! A luscious red teeming with sweet cherry fruit, exemplary of the warm year; but slate soils, steep slopes (70% in some parcels!) and 50% stem inclusion keep this wine focused, fresh, and riveting. From French clones, 30+...
