Paumanok

North Fork Bordeaux varieties shaped by Atlantic maritime terroir.

Paumanok produces wines from Long Island's North Fork, a maritime region shaped by Atlantic influences and glacial soils. The winery's portfolio centers on Bordeaux varieties suited to the cool climate. Tuthills Lane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, rated 92.0 by prestige critics including Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, and Decanter, anchors the red program. Blanc de Blancs, a Chardonnay sparkling wine rated 91.3, demonstrates the region's capacity for elegant, high-acid whites. Apollo Drive Vineyard Petit Verdot, rated 90.5, rounds out the core offerings. These wines reflect North Fork's terroir: moderate growing seasons that build structure and complexity in Cabernet Sauvignon, crisp minerality in Chardonnay, and the textural depth Petit Verdot develops in cooler conditions. The vineyard designations signal site-specific focus across the North Fork's distinct microclimates.
