Roanoke Vineyards is owned by long-time Long Island Vinyardist Richard Pisacano and his wife Soraya. Richard has been tending vines and growing grapes in this appellation for over thirty years; he has helped plant and/or maintain most of the first vineyards on the island. For over ten years, he has been the Vineyard Manager at Wölffer Estates. Richard brings a lifetime of experience to Roanoke Vineyards, and in just four years, has already amassed a formidable collection of accolades, including the award for "Best Vinifera Red Blend" at the 2006 New York Wine and Food Classic. Richard's partner-in-wine is Roman Roth, the winemaker behind Wölffer's fine wines, as well as his own prestigious Grapes of Roth.

At Roanoke, our goal is to make the highest quality, limited-production, hand-crafted, ultra-premium artisanal wines possible. We want our wines to express both the singular characteristics of our unique appellation (subtlety, refinement, elegance, culinary companionability), and the long-standing and legendary characteristics of the great wine traditions we admire (balance, harmony, smooth muscularity, earthiness, rusticity).

our wines reflect their vintage because we take care to assess the caliber and character of our fruit anew every year. We hand harvest and hand sort, to make sure that we are getting the best fruit possible, and we favor low yields; one of the luxuries of being a small producer is that we can consistently opt for quality over quantity. From the start, we have worked with the same individuals year in and year out; we have always had the same vineyard manager, the same winemaker, and the same vineyard crew. At Roanoke , we believe that great people make great wine
