✨ 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
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.
