✨ 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
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.
