✨ Technical Specifications
The Home Farm Vineyard Lagrein Rosato is a testament to Channing Daughters' adventurous spirit and pioneering viticulture on Long Island's South Fork. Lagrein, a red variety native to the mountainous Trentino-Alto Adige region of northern Italy, finds an unexpected but highly successful home in the maritime climate of Bridgehampton. Grown on the unique Bridgehampton silt loam soils of the Home Farm Vineyard, this grape benefits from the moderating influence of the Atlantic Ocean and the Peconic Bay. Winemaker Christopher Tracy crafts this rosato to highlight the grape's naturally vibrant acidity and deep pigment. Through gentle handling and careful skin contact, the winery coaxes out a savory, textured, and deeply colored rosé that bridges the gap between traditional light summer pinks and light-bodied red wines, offering a captivating expression of East End 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.
