Style: White Wine

Producer: Wolffer Estate

Grape: 100% Sauvignon Blanc

Where: Long Island, New York

Country: USA

Critic tasting note:  "A soft and restrained summer-style white wine. Notes of green melon, gooseberries and kiwis. The palate is light-bodied with well-integrated acid, carried by a creamy texture and notes of lemons, cut grass and cantaloupe. Refreshing and giving. Drink now. Screw cap." - James Suckling

Wölffer Estate was founded in 1988 by Christian Wölffer, a man with great creative vision and a huge passion for life. The estate today is owned and operated by his children, Marc and Joey Wölffer and Winemaker/Partner Roman Roth. The estate spans approximately 175 acres including the acclaimed 55 acre sustainably farmed vineyard located in Sagaponack, NY. We also own 28 acres on the North Fork of Long Island, 200 acres in Mendoza, Argentina and 2.5 acres in Mallorca, Spain. Finally, we partner with carefully selected growers on 338 acres on the North Fork of Long Island as well as 1,750 acres in Côtes de Provence, France.

Our unique combination of Bridgehampton loam soil and breezes from the Atlantic Ocean, located 2.6 miles from the estate, provide maritime conditions perfect for achieving the balance of ripeness and acidity that has come to define Wölffer’s signature style: food friendly, elegant and built for longevity. Our dry ciders and gin have extended Wölffer quality into new categories, exemplifying our drive for innovation and excellence.

Winemaker & Partner Roman Roth makes Wölffer wine using traditional techniques, but always with an eye toward innovation. His goals are to make wines that are food-friendly, elegant and built for longevity. All our wines are made using estate-grown or locally-sourced fruit, and our Dry White and Rosé ciders are made from New York state apples, sourced from the Halsey Apple Orchard and other growers that meet the Halseys' high standards.

Joey Wölffer is a New York Native, entrepreneur and the Chief Brand Officer and Co-Owner of Wölffer Estate Vineyard based in the Hamptons. With a mission to carry on the innovative legacy of her father, Joey and her brother Marc took over the winery in early 2013. That same year, they introduced the brand’s iconic Summer in a Bottle Rosé, which traditionally sells out each summer and is the number one fastest-growing rosé in New York City.

In addition to the vineyard, Joey and Marc also took over The Tasting Room, Wine Stand and Wölffer Estate Stables, which are all located on the 170-acre estate in the heart of the Hamptons. As a champion equestrian, Joey oversees the world-class stable facility, which combines heritage, beauty and a passion for excellence. In 2016, Joey and Marc opened Wölffer Kitchen Amagansett, a light-filled neighborhood restaurant inspired by local cuisine from the land and sea.

Prior to joining the family business, Joey founded the Styleliner Truck, a luxury accessories boutique on wheels, and in 2015 she opened her eponymous boutique in Sag Harbor, NY. Specializing in limited luxe jewelry, clothing, and accessories for women, the concept boutique is a carefully curated treasure trove of extraordinary pieces by hard-to-find designers mixed with worldly vintage finds. Additionally, Joey’s environmentally conscious Re-Worked collection featuring one-of-kind, reimagined womenswear pieces is exclusively available at the Sag Harbor boutique and online at joeywolffer.com.

A graduate of Vanderbilt University, Joey began her career as a jewelry designer for Meems LTC, providing accessories for several High Street stores in the UK and later became a jewelry designer for Nine West as well as Trend Director for all of The Jones Group.

Outside of the myriad of businesses, Joey is passionately involved with The Bridgehampton Center, Robin Hood, Southampton Hospital, and EMC. She is a mother of two with her husband, Max Rohn.
