✨ Technical Specifications
Channing Daughters has earned a reputation as one of the most experimental and progressive estates on the East Coast, particularly for its pioneering work with Northern Italian varieties. Their Ribolla Gialla is a testament to this adventurous spirit, sourced from estate vineyards in Bridgehampton where the maritime climate and silt-loam soils mirror the coastal influences of Friuli. Traditionally crafted with varying degrees of skin contact, this wine showcases the grape's natural affinity for texture and complexity. The winemaking team employs ambient yeast fermentation and minimal intervention, allowing the saline sea breezes and unique terroir of the South Fork to express themselves fully in a structured, deeply aromatic profile.
🍾 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.
