Sparkling Pointe

Sparkling Pointe is a sparkling-wine estate on the North Fork of Long Island, dedicated by Cynthia and Tom Rosicki to estate-grown sparkling wines. In 2001, the Rosickis visited vineyard developer Steve Mudd, who later persuaded them to acquire land for a vineyard. Mudd recommended Gilles Martin as winemaker for the project. Andrew Rockwell is also a winemaker at Sparkling Pointe.

The estate’s three sustainably farmed vineyard sites cover 40 acres within the North Fork of Long Island American Viticultural Area, with glacial sandy loam soils and a maritime climate. Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay grow across all three sites, with smaller plantings of Merlot and Muscat. The winery exclusively produces Méthode Champenoise sparkling wines, using whole-cluster pressing and temperature-controlled fermentations. Its reserve room holds base wines aged in French oak and stored in stainless steel drums.
