✨ 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
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.
