✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the wind-swept maritime terroir of Bridgehampton on Long Island's South Fork, Channing Daughters Pinot Grigio is a vibrant expression of cool-climate viticulture. Grown in unique, well-draining Bridgehampton silt loam soils deposited by glaciers thousands of years ago, the vines benefit from the moderating influence of the Atlantic Ocean and the Peconic Bay. Winemaker Christopher Tracy coaxes a remarkably textured and aromatic profile from this classic grape, utilizing gentle whole-cluster pressing and temperature-controlled fermentation primarily in stainless steel to preserve the grape's natural, bright acidity and saline minerality. This wine captures the breezy, coastal essence of the East End, offering a beautiful tension between ripe orchard fruit and refreshing sea-spray notes.
🍾 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.
