✨ Technical Specifications
Channing Daughters' Diamond Petillant Naturel is a vibrant celebration of New York's viticultural history, showcasing the heritage hybrid grape Diamond. Originally bred in Brighton, New York, in 1873 by Jacob Moore, Diamond is a cross between Concord and Iona. Channing Daughters breathes new life into this historic variety using the ancestral method (pétillant naturel), where the wine is bottled before its primary fermentation is complete. This process traps the natural carbon dioxide, resulting in a gently sparkling, unfiltered, and delightfully cloudy wine. It captures the unique maritime terroir of Long Island's South Fork, offering an aromatic profile filled with tropical fruit, white flowers, and crisp acidity.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded by Walter Channing with initial vineyard plantings dating back to 1982 in Bridgehampton on Long Island's South Fork, Channing Daughters Winery stands as one of New York's most inventive and boundary-pushing artisanal producers. Guided by partner and winemaker Christopher Tracy alongside partner Larry Perrine, the estate champions low-intervention, sustainable viticulture across its distinctive maritime terroir. The winery is celebrated for its remarkably diverse and adventurous portfolio encompassing more than two dozen grape varieties, ranging from skin-contact orange wines like Meditazione and complex field blends like Mosaico to expressive single-vineyard expressions such as L'Enfant Sauvage Chardonnay and Scuttlehole Chardonnay. Through experimental fermentations, pet-nats, and traditional method sparklers, Channing Daughters continues to showcase the dynamic potential and saline elegance of East End winemaking.
