The Over & Over series from Channing Daughters is a testament to the winery's restless experimentation and artisanal philosophy on Long Island's South Fork. This unique red wine is crafted using a fractional blending or 'ripasso'-inspired method, where wine is fermented or aged on the skins of other grapes, or blended across multiple vintages to create a continuous, evolving narrative of the estate's terroir. This variation showcases the maritime climate of Bridgehampton, where cool ocean breezes and Bridgehampton silt loam soils yield grapes with bright acidity and moderate alcohol. The resulting wine is a complex, savory, and texturally intriguing red that challenges traditional notions of vintage and variety, reflecting the innovative spirit of the East End.
