Hailing from the unique maritime climate of Bridgehampton on Long Island's South Fork, Channing Daughters' 'Due Uve' (meaning 'Two Grapes' in Italian) is a thoughtful, terroir-driven red blend. This cuv e typically marries Syrah and Merlot, two varieties that thrive in the region's glacial loamy soils and cool, ocean-influenced microclimate. Winemaker Christopher Tracy employs artisanal, low-intervention techniques, including wild yeast fermentation and gentle aging in seasoned oak casks. This approach preserves the bright, crunchy red and black fruit character, savory spice, and the distinct saline minerality characteristic of the East End's coastal terroir.
