Overview

Join us for a virtual tasting of 4 selections from Long Island’s premier vineyard and winery estate. Raphael believes that great wine is grown, not made. Built, owned, and operated by four generations of family, a philosophy of family has established Raphael as a premier North Fork boutique vineyard.

APPROACH

  • The 70-acre grounds of Raphael are inspired by Mediterranean architecture.
  • It has become a place where cutting-edge technology, combined with time-honored winemaking traditions, produces expressive New World wines.

ARTISAN WINES

  • The grapes from the vineyard are entirely hand-harvested by a dedicated and passionate winemaking team.
  • The team uses its vine and soil knowledge to sustainably produce well-balanced wines that exhibit a fresh, clean, and elegant purity of fruit.
  • Using wild fermentation with little fining and filtration, Raphael’s wines exhibit perfect balance, aroma, and flavor that purely express the local terroir of the East End of Long Island Wine Country.
