The Grapes of Roth Merlot

The Grapes of Roth MerlotInspired by the Garagiste philosophy and encouraged by the great potential of Long Island Vineyards, I set out in 2001 to fulfill my passion for creating small quantities of unique, handmade wines of the highest quality.

I am very proud to say that this bottle of The Grapes of Roth Merlot carries on the tradition of the finest quality established by prior vintages. It is a powerful Merlot with intense, concentrated flavors balanced with great elegance, finesse and depth. This wine has tremendous aging potential. The perfect match with lamb, Long Island duck or venison.

The Grapes of Roth Virgin Berry Dry Riesling

The Grapes of Roth Virgin Berry Dry RieslingNew York’s Signature Wine!
Virgin Berries are a rare and special phenomena in the vineyard. The berries remain much smaller in size, have no seeds and ripen much quicker then normal fruit. These absolutely golden berries are amazingly intense and aromatic. The occurrence of this is extremely rare and may be caused by a stressed vineyard or a special clonal selection. Riesling is one of the most interesting white wines in the world, especially when grown on a favorable vineyard site and treated with the utmost care during the growing season and while in the cellar.

"The art of making a great wine lies in the passion and   joy of creating something unique." - Roman Roth

“Roman Roth has attempted to pull out all the stops in crafting a couple of hundred cases of his own brand. The results are of a sort guaranteed to bring down the house at blind tastings, but it would be a shame not to set some aside in one’s cellar as well to await the verdict of time.  Consumers who fail to fill up Mr. Roth’s answering machine should recall that they were warned here first.” - David Schildknecht, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, July 2006
