✨ 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
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.
