Mattebella Vineyards

THE STORY BEHIND THE PLACE

History & heritage

Mattebella describes itself as a small family farm in Southold. Its published farming approach emphasizes traditional techniques, closely spaced European grape clones and lower-vigor rootstock. A founding date and founders’ names were not confirmed in the reviewed official pages.

WHAT TO EXPECT

The vineyard experience

The tasting cottage sits within a landscape of vines and seasonal gardens. The grounds include roses, hydrangeas, herbs, vegetables, edible flowers and a small orchard. Visitors can choose from standard flights or more guided vineyard and barrel experiences; the gardens give the setting a changing character through the year.

THE WINES

A sense of their style

The winery describes its goal as Old World-style wines suited to food. Its portfolio is organized into white, rosé and red wines, with an emphasis on expressing North Fork growing conditions rather than a single signature grape.

Styles describe the producer’s range, not a live tasting menu or inventory. Offerings change by vintage and season.
