From Mexico to New York: Started in 2019, RG | NY is a new brand from the Rivero González family who have cultivated the land of their vineyards in Parras, Coahulia Mexico –the oldest winegrowing region in the Americas - for 25 years. The González family is characterized by being true to their values excellence, heritage, craft, innovation, sustainability, and community. They aim to continue their family’s winemaking tradition and legacy on the North Fork. Bright, expressive, young, and fruit-forward. These are wines that perfectly represent North Fork region; well-balanced acidity and freshness with a lingering finish that seamlessly makes them the perfect wines for year-round consumption. Comprised of complex wines from special vineyard blocks with smaller productions; wines that require greater attention, as there’s more challenge in finding the perfect balance and expression, to harvest at the right time, and to respect what the fruit has to give us. RG | NY is a member of Long Island Sustainable Winegrowing (LISW); not-for-profit organization that provides education and certification for Long Island vineyards in order to reduce the environmental impact.
One of the world’s most classic and popular styles of red wine, Bordeaux-inspired blends have spread from their homeland in France to nearly every corner of the New World. Typically based on either Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot and supported by Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot, the best of these are densely hued, fragrant, full of fruit and boast a structure that begs for cellar time. Somm Secret—Blends from Bordeaux are generally earthier compared to those from the New World, which tend to be fruit-dominant.
A far-reaching peninsula extending into the Atlantic Ocean from the city of New York, the Long Island appellation includes The Hamptons and North Fork AVAs. With a maritime climate and conditions not unlike that in Bordeaux, the region excels in the production of Bordeaux varieties, namely Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
