Notes from Hiyu:

The May is the original 2.5 acre section of the vineyard that we began farming in 2011. It’s in the far western corner of the property surrounded by the forest. It has the steepest aspect and produces the most intensely perfumed wines of the site. The wines were made from co-fermented, own-rooted Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris from 2012 to 2016 (there was also a tiny amount of Syrah vinified separately). There were two wines made. The May I and II were both made from multiple vintages from fermenters that spent the whole winter on the skins and were pressed in the spring following the vintage. The single-vintage bottlings had more conventional macerations from 30-70 days and typically spent two to three years in barrel. We started grafting in this part of the vineyard in 2016.  There are now four different field blends made from the parcel; Avellana, Hypericum, Crataegus and Cornus.

This is one of three vintages made by China and Nate from the original 2.5 acre parcel before grafting. Own-rooted Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris were fermented whole cluster in puncheons with the heads removed. The wines spent 70 days on the skins before being pressed directly to barrel with a manual ratchet press. The wine was aged on the lees for 24 months in older barrels before being bottled by hand.

Terms & Conditions

You must be 21 years or older to purchase and receive products from Vanderbilt Wine Merchants. If you request shipping you authorize Vanderbilt Wine Merchants to engage a common carrier to deliver your order. All shipments require an adult signature at the time of delivery. Therefore, either you or an authorized adult must be present at the time of delivery with proof of identification. 
If you wish to ship to a location outside of New York State, you assume all responsibility for shipment. We will notify you before processing your order if we are unable to ship wine to the state you request. For the protection of your wines, we will not ship during warmer months without your express request. All orders are packed immediately upon purchase but we may wait for optimal conditions to send. Since we cannot control the temperature of any common carrier, we do our best to send shipments out at the beginning of each week. We will always confirm any delays in shipment, and the choice is ultimately up to you.
Some of our wine is sold "Pre-Arrival." All "Pre-Arrival" items will be indicated as such on our website and include the estimated date of arrival. We will contact you once the wine has arrived and confirm any shipment or delivery requests prior to sending. 

We are here to help you with your order, so don't hesitate to text us at (718) 398-1800 or email us at orders@vanderbilt.wine with any questions!

From time to time we purchase private collections and offer these wines to you at competitive and, we think, very attractive pricing.  We only purchase cellars of top provenance bottles that have been stored in ideal conditions, and we only work with trusted acquaintances and collectors.  If the wine you are considering does not display certain information, or if you would like certain images of the bottles please reach out using the form below.
