✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Channing Daughters' Research series represents the winery's deeply experimental and avant-garde spirit on the South Fork of Long Island. The Research Cab is born from pilot and experimental vineyard plots in Bridgehampton, where the winemaking team explores how Cabernet varieties adapt to the maritime, breeze-swept soils of the East End. Influenced by the nearby Atlantic Ocean and Peconic Bay, this cool-climate expression of Cabernet diverges from the heavy, oak-laden styles of warmer regions, instead emphasizing bright acidity, savory herbal undertones, fresh red and black fruit, and a distinct mineral spine. Produced in extremely limited quantities, it reflects a hands-on, low-intervention approach in the cellar designed to let the true potential of Long Island's terroir shine through.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Channing Daughters Winery blev grundlagt i 1982, da venturekapitalisten og billedhuggeren Walter Channing plantede sine første Chardonnay-stokke i Bridgehampton. Sidenhen har vinhuset udviklet sig til en af de mest vovede og nytænkende producenter på Long Islands East End. Ejendommens vinmarker dækker over 11 hektar i South Forks maritime klima, hvor vinstokkene trives i veldrænet siltet Bridgehampton-lerjord, velsignet med kølende havbriser fra Atlanterhavet og et mildt mikroklima skabt af Peconic Bay. Vingården ledes i dag af partner og vinmager Christopher Tracy sammen med partnerne Larry Perrine og Allison Dubin, og huset er desuden medstifter af Long Island Sustainable Winegrowing. Channing Daughters er berømmet for sit mangfoldige druesortiment, der tæller mere end to dusin sorter, samt en avantgardistisk tilgang i kælderen med spontangæring, udstrakt skindkontakt og field blends. Blandt husets referencevine finder man deres banebrydende, skindfermenterede Ramato på Pinot Grigio, Friuli-inspirerede hvidvine på sorter som Tocai Friulano og Ribolla Gialla samt komplekse cuvéer som Meditazione og Envelope.
