Our Wines...

The Summer Rosé is a blend of Syrah, Malbec and Merlot grapes while the Montauk Great White is a blend of Viognier, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Riesling. The blends are both adorned with exclusive labels created by Hamptons artist and illustrator Peter Spacek. Spacek, an elusive Montauk surfer, is known for his surf-centric illustrations found on greeting cards, in surf periodicals and most recently in local art galleries. The Montauk Summer Rosé label depicts a fun and whimsical image of a surfer cruising through the ocean, a cultural highlight of Montauk in the summertime. The Montauk Great White label illustrates the iconic great white shark, a species with history in Montauk waters, with spirited lettering and a jagged edge signifying the daunting jaws of the stunning creature.

Team

The team behind Montauk Wine Company, owner Anneris Blair and consultants Mark Blair and Mike Carolan, was inspired to enter the world of winemaking from their collective travels, life and work experiences. The trio believed that producing wines that were inspired by great wines from Europe could also represent the East End and Montauk if made and bottled on the North Fork of Long Island. “Our wines are made to enjoy in a multitude of settings and evoke the spirt of Montauk and its natural beauty. Our stylish bottles and label design are an ode to Montauk and its artistic roots and history,” conclude Anneris.
