✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1982 when venture capitalist and sculptor Walter Channing planted his first Chardonnay vines in Bridgehampton, Channing Daughters Winery has evolved into one of the most daring and innovative producers on Long Island's East End. Set on 28 estate acres within the maritime climate of the South Fork, the vineyards thrive in well-drained Bridgehampton silt loam cooled by Atlantic sea breezes and buffered by Peconic Bay. Helmed by partner and winemaker Christopher Tracy alongside partners Larry Perrine and Allison Dubin, the estate is a founding member of Long Island Sustainable Winegrowing. Channing Daughters is celebrated for its polycultural repertoire spanning over two dozen grape varieties and an avant-garde cellar program marked by native fermentations, extensive skin contact, and field blends. Benchmark bottlings include their pioneering Ramato skin-fermented Pinot Grigio, Friulian-inspired whites such as Tocai Friulano and Ribolla Gialla, and intricate cuvées like Meditazione and Envelope.
