✨ Technical Specifications
Channing Daughters' Mudd West Vineyard Syrah is a compelling expression of cool-climate Syrah grown in the maritime terroir of Long Island. Sourced from the acclaimed Mudd West Vineyard on the North Fork—originally planted and managed by the pioneering Mudd family, who helped shape the region's viticultural history—this wine benefits from the moderating breezes of the Peconic Bay and Atlantic Ocean. Winemaker Christopher Tracy utilizes low-intervention techniques, including wild fermentation and neutral oak aging, to craft a red wine that emphasizes freshness, spice, and elegance over heavy extraction. It beautifully captures the savory, peppery, and floral nuances characteristic of maritime-influenced Syrah.
🍾 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.
