Macari Vineyards and Winery, located on the North Fork of Eastern Long Island in Mattituck, New York is owned and operated by the Macari Family. What were once potato fields and farmland has become a vineyard of 180 acres of vines with additional fields of compost, farmland, and a home to cows, goats, Sicilian donkeys and ducks. Macari New York Winery is on the cutting edge of viticulture and is dedicated to a more natural approach to winemaking. Joseph Macari, Jr. is recognized as a pioneer in the movement towards organic and sustainable farming on Long Island, employing principles of biodynamic farming since the vineyard’s first plantings. Extensive soil preparation, rich composts, careful cover cropping and a consideration to wildlife and terrain makes Macari's 180 planted acres stand out from the rest. Taking into account the health of the environment as a whole, and moving away from the harmful effects of pesticides to a more natural and meticulous caretaking of the soil and plants, ultimately yields premium wines.

"Last year, Macari Vineyards' Early Wine was one of Long Island's most innovative chardonnays; the 2004 version is identical to it. The charming Early Wine was my favorite East End chardonnay in 2003; this year's delicious edition ranks as No. 1 too... If ever a white brings a smile to consumers' faces and special versatility to the holiday table- children will appreciate a drop or two on their lips - it is the Early Wine... Macari's 2004 Chardonnay is fruit salad in a bottle... While dry, it seems near-sweet because of the freshness of the chardonnay fruit, and its bounce comes from a slight fizz... (Helmut Gangl -wine maker) His Early Wine has a tart grapefruity piquancy, a creamy texture and hints of peppery flavor, making it resemble grüner veltliner, a white made from a grape native to Austria and hardly found elsewhere."
