✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Channing Daughters' Rosso Fresco is a vibrant, joyful expression of Long Island's maritime terroir, crafted to celebrate the brighter, fresher side of red wine. Translating to 'fresh red,' this cuvée is intentionally made in an approachable, fruit-forward style. Winemaker Christopher Tracy utilizes a diverse palette of grape varieties grown on the South Fork, combining traditional Bordeaux grapes with cool-climate European varieties. The wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel and neutral oak barrels to preserve its lively primary fruit aromas and crisp acidity, avoiding the heavy oak influence often found in regional reds. It represents the winery's philosophy of seasonal, food-friendly, and low-intervention winemaking, offering a playful yet structurally sound red that can even be enjoyed with a light chill.
🍾 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.
