✨ Technical Specifications
Sourced from the historic Mudd West Vineyard on the North Fork of Long Island, this wine highlights the deep viticultural roots of the region. The vineyard, planted and meticulously managed by the pioneering Mudd family, benefits from sandy loam soils and a tempering maritime climate. Channing Daughters crafts this Sauvignon Blanc to express both the bright, breezy coastal terroir and a sophisticated texture. By utilizing a combination of stainless steel tanks and neutral oak barrels for fermentation and aging, the winemaking team coaxes out a beautiful tension between crisp, zesty citrus notes and a subtle, creamy weight on the palate, celebrating the unique synergy between North Fork fruit and South Fork artisanal winemaking.
🍾 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.
