Stewards of the Soil: The People Behind a Sustainable Vineyard Stewards of the Soil: The People Behind a Sustainable Vineyard

Menos es Más speaks to focus – to doing fewer things, better, with the right people.

A vineyard is only as strong as those who tend it. Our team includes some of the most experienced vineyard professionals in the region, with several individuals caring for these same vines for over 27 years.

Their knowledge is not theoretical – it is lived. Passed through seasons, storms, and harvests. This continuity ensures that every decision made in the vineyard reflects both expertise and respect.

As a socially responsible and sustainable winery, we are committed to creating an environment where expertise is valued and stewardship is shared.

Certified Sustainability, Regional Leadership

Our philosophy is supported by measurable action. We are proud to be a founding member of the Long Island Sustainable Winegrowing program since 2012, helping define what certified sustainable winegrowing in New York can and should be.

We also participate in:

These affiliations ensure that our practices are transparent, accountable, and aligned with the highest standards of sustainable wine production on Long Island—offering confidence to both consumers and wholesale partners seeking sustainably produced, estate grown wines

Innovation, Guided by Restraint

True innovation is not about doing more—it’s about doing better.

From advanced application technologies that reduce environmental impact to ongoing soil research that enhances vine balance, we pursue progress with discipline. Every innovation is evaluated through the lens of Menos es Más: does it allow us to reduce intervention while improving fruit quality?

This is how we remain both environmentally sustainable and economically viable as a premium estate winery.
