Wolffer Estate Fatalis Fatum 2016

Dark, red brick in color. Beautiful classic gravel notes and sophisticated aromas of fine ripe cassis fruit, elegant and lush creamy lees and well-integrated toasted oak fill the glass. The mouth-feel is huge but well balanced. Wonderful fruit is wrapped by loads of velvet tannins and oak. There is a lot of depth and concentration with classic minerality on the long finish.

Wölffer Estate, an American Winery in the Classic European Tradition in Sagaponack, New York: Here, in the heart of the Hamptons, a collection of quaint villages stretched like a string of pearls on the shores of the Atlantic, is Wölffer Estate, a winery like none other on the east end of Long Island. Owned by Hamburg-born Christian Wölffer, the 55-acre winery, located between Southampton to the west and Easthampton to the east, is at once an American winery but with a decidedly European character, both in its spirit and its wines. The winery currently produces 13,000 cases annually.
