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.
