✨ 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
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.
