✨ Technical Specifications
This dry rosé is a beautiful collaboration bridging Long Island's forks, sourcing fruit from the renowned Mudd West Vineyard on the North Fork, managed by the pioneering Mudd family who helped shape the region's viticultural landscape. Channing Daughters treats this Syrah with the utmost care, utilizing gentle whole-cluster pressing and cool fermentations to capture the grape's savory complexity. The maritime climate, defined by surrounding bays and the Atlantic Ocean, imparts a distinct saline minerality to the wine, which beautifully balances the vibrant red fruit and signature white pepper spice characteristic of cool-climate Syrah.
🍾 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.
