Bedell Cellars

Musée is our ultimate expression of North Fork terroir. The wine is powerful, with a show-stopping core of ripe fruit and a complex array of flavors and textural nuances. The 2015 vintage was exceptional. Mark Squires of the Wine Advocate said “Lovely on many levels, this is a focused red with some complexity, some traces of lead and licorice. Tightly wound and very precise, this has many nods to Bordeaux. It is wonderfully graceful.”

Our Viognier grows on some of the oldest vines in North America. Fragrant and fruit forward, with a flinty minerality, the wine is fermented in steel from our sustainably grown grapes using indigenous yeasts. The 2021 vintage was unique and exceptional. Thomas Matthews of Wine Spectator said “This modest white is clean and fresh, with a touch of hard-candy sweetness to its tangerine and white peach flavors.”

Our Albariño 2021 is bottled from young vines planted at Bedell in 2011. It is a lean aromatic white, with delicious flavors of peaches, stone fruit, and almonds. The 2021 vintage was exceptional. Mark Squires of the Wine Advocate said “the peachy flavors are up front and delicious. It finishes with some tension, but the acidity seems relatively well integrated. I don't care how they got there; this pretty much works.”

Our Sauvignon Blanc is made by gently pressing whole clusters of sustainably farmed, estate grown fruit from our sites at Bedell and Corey Creek. It is then fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in steel to maximize its youthfulness and aromatic character. The 2021 vintage was exceptional. Mark Squires of the Wine Advocate said “Many on the East Coast make fruity Sauvignon with grass and green notes. What they sometimes lack, however, is some zing and zest - I love the way Bedell's Sauvignons accomplish that.”

An airy and aromatic white made famous in Rueda, Spain. This is our first vintage of this variety from a small 2 acre plot in our Corey Creek Vineyard. Bursting with green melon, grapefruit and a savory minerality.

Bright acidity with flavors of apple, pear, citrus and a saline minerality unique to the North Fork.

Made from young vines planted at Bedell in 2016. It is crisp and light, yet boasting a deceptively full mouthfeel and beautiful aromatics. Partial skin contact was used during fermentation to boost these characteristics. The 2020 vintage showed ripeness levels rivaling that of 2010.

A balanced and refreshing Chardonnay with expressive fruit and complex savory minerality. Made from hand-harvested grapes farmed sustainably on our estate from multiple clones on different field sites. James Molesworth of the Wine Spectator said "[Bedell] Chardonnay is [a] successful bottling, relying on a fresh, breezy persona to deliver unadorned pear and green apple notes with a verbena hint."

Gallery is a blend of our finest whites made only in extraordinary vintages. Its hallmarks are ripe tropical fruit and a full body. Thomas Matthews of the Wine Spectator said “This fleshy white delivers a good balance of ripe fruit and fresh acidity. Mango, melon and vanilla flavors show a tropical character, staying lively through the finish.”

Our sparkling rosé is a unique handcrafted blend of grapes grown sustainably on our estate. Delicate, fresh, and lively, it’s a fun wine with a serious edge. The 2020 vintage provided exceptional growing conditions. Howard Goldberg of The New York Times said “This feather-light blend plays a game: its delicately candied aroma seems to promise sweet flavors, but is followed by a strikingly brisk dryness on the palate.”

A dry aromatic blend unique to Long Island, made in the North Fork style with crisp acidity, moderate alcohol, and a distinct minerality. It was fermented in steel from sustainably-grown grapes using indigenous yeasts. The 2020 vintage provided exceptional, nearly perfect growing conditions. Thomas Matthews of Wine Spectator said “Crisp and light, this white offers light apple and herbal flavors, with lively acidity and a short, clean finish. A refreshing aperitif.”

Our hand-selected clones of this ancient noble grape are producing stunning wines. Aged in older French oak barrels to preserve its elegance and finesse, this wine was fermented with indigenous yeasts using our sustainably farmed estate grapes. James Molesworth of the Wine Spectator said “Fresh black cherry and black currant fruit flavors are laced with a mouthwatering tobacco streak, with a subtle tug of earth on the juicy finish.”

Malbec is a rising star on Long Island, with early ripening times and intense color and flavors. This 100% varietal was made from sustainably farmed estate grown fruit, fermented with indigenous yeasts. The 2019 vintage was unique and exceptional. Ed McCarthy, the James Beard Award winning Author of Wine for Dummies said “A rich, supple, concentrated marvel that was the best red wine of the day for me.”

Bedell has become synonymous with top Merlots for over 30 years. The 2019 vintage is no exception, following in the footsteps of the 2009 Merlot that was served at the Presidential Inauguration. Made from hand harvested sustainably farmed fruit. Jay McInerney of The Wall Street Journal said “Anybody who thinks they don’t like Merlot should try this one, fleshy but not flabby, this [is a] complex, aromatic, medium-bodied red.”

Our rosé is a unique blend of sustainably grown estate fruit. Made by gently pressing whole clusters, and fermented with indigenous yeasts. 2021 was an extraordinary Long Island vintage, producing elegant, balanced wines with refreshing acidity and savory minerality that reflect the maritime climate of the North Fork.
