Estate wines
from Long Island’s North Fork
Acclaimed estate grown wines.
For more than four decades, the Massoud family has crafted wines that reflect the distinctive terroir of Long Island’s North Fork. Produced from estate vineyards and guided by an Old World philosophy, Paumanok’s wines emphasize balance, deliciousness, elegance, longevity, and a true sense of place. Our wines have earned national acclaim, appeared on the wine lists of leading New York restaurants, and have been served at The White House.
Densely planted and sustainably farmed, our vineyards produce healthy, ripe fruit that allows each wine to express the character of the land.
The Paumanok 2025 Chenin underwent a slow, cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks. It was bottled with a screw cap to preserve freshness and cleanliness. The result is a fresh, crisp, racy, and bracing Chenin that is redolent of grapefruit and pineapple, with more subtle notes of pear and guava. It makes an excellent companion to various white meat fish dishes, such as striped bass, flounder, cod and lobsters and especially oysters.
"Year in and year out, this is one of the best American chenin blancs around...Paumanok's from the North Fork of Long Island stands out as delicious on almost any scale you choose." -Eric Asimov, The New York Times

“Fermented in neutral oak with 50% whole berries, the result is savoury and red-fruited, with dusty mineral tones, subtle currant and fig notes on a lovely nose. Medium-bodied on the palate with juicy, spiced plum fruit, layered with brown spices, green olive, cherry wood, and mahogany. Supple yet robust tannins frame the wine, leading to a crunchy, acid-driven finish.”
