✨ Technical Specifications
Channing Daughters Vino Bianco is a beautiful testament to the maritime terroir of Bridgehampton on Long Island's South Fork, heavily inspired by the field blends of Friuli and northeastern Italy. Winemaker Christopher Tracy crafts this white blend to capture the breezy, coastal energy of the estate's glacial silt loam soils. By artfully blending multiple white grape varieties, the winery creates a layered, aromatic, and textured wine that reflects the unique climate shaped by the Atlantic Ocean and Peconic Bay. The vinification typically employs a mix of stainless steel and neutral French oak barrels, allowing the bright fruit and saline minerality to shine alongside a subtle, creamy complexity born from lees contact.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1982 when venture capitalist and sculptor Walter Channing planted his first Chardonnay vines in Bridgehampton, Channing Daughters Winery has evolved into one of the most daring and innovative producers on Long Island's East End. Set on 28 estate acres within the maritime climate of the South Fork, the vineyards thrive in well-drained Bridgehampton silt loam cooled by Atlantic sea breezes and buffered by Peconic Bay. Helmed by partner and winemaker Christopher Tracy alongside partners Larry Perrine and Allison Dubin, the estate is a founding member of Long Island Sustainable Winegrowing. Channing Daughters is celebrated for its polycultural repertoire spanning over two dozen grape varieties and an avant-garde cellar program marked by native fermentations, extensive skin contact, and field blends. Benchmark bottlings include their pioneering Ramato skin-fermented Pinot Grigio, Friulian-inspired whites such as Tocai Friulano and Ribolla Gialla, and intricate cuvées like Meditazione and Envelope.
