✨ Technical Specifications
An intriguing viticultural anomaly, Channing Daughters' Home Farm Vineyard Lagrein brings a piece of Italy's alpine Alto Adige region to the maritime shores of Long Island's South Fork. Planted in the bridgehampton silt loam soils of the estate's Home Farm, this rare planting thrives under the careful, low-intervention stewardship of the winemaking team. Lagrein is celebrated for its deep, ink-like color and vibrant acidity. At Channing Daughters, the grapes are hand-harvested, fermented in small open-top vessels, and aged in seasoned oak barrels to preserve the grape's distinctive wild berry, plum, and forest-floor aromatics, resulting in a red wine of striking individuality and coastal-influenced freshness.
🍾 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.
