Crafted using the ancient méthode ancestrale, this sparkling rosato is a vibrant testament to Channing Daughters' spirit of innovation on Long Island's South Fork. By harvesting Cabernet Sauvignon early to preserve its brisk, mouthwatering acidity, the winemakers capture the maritime energy of Bridgehampton's glacial loam soils. The wine is bottled during its primary fermentation without the addition of sulfur, commercial yeasts, or sugar, allowing the natural carbon dioxide to be trapped in the bottle. The result is an artisanal, unfiltered, and delightfully cloudy pet-nat that turns a traditionally heavy red grape into a playful, refreshing, and yeast-forward sparkling rosé.
