✨ Technical Specifications
Channing Daughters is renowned for pushing the boundaries of East End viticulture, and their Home Farm Vineyard Refosco Rosato is a prime example of this experimental spirit. Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso, a grape native to northeastern Italy's Friuli region, thrives unexpectedly well in the maritime terroir of Bridgehampton, Long Island. This Rosato is crafted with minimal intervention, capturing the grape's natural high acidity and distinctive dark-berried, savory profile. The maritime breezes and glacial soils of the South Fork impart a distinct saline minerality to the wine. Typically produced using gentle pressing and cool fermentation in stainless steel, it results in a dry, textured, and deeply aromatic rosé that bridges the gap between Old World alpine tradition and New York's coastal energy.
🍾 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.
