We are thrilled to have this exciting wine (for only the fourth time in CDW history) to release to our Wine Club. Our 2017 Muscat de Boom is a sweet, fortified, wildly aromatic wine! This wine is made in a style often called Vin doux Naturel (in the south of France). So, it's made from Muscat Ottonel grapes...a wild fermentation is started on the skins and allowed to go for a few days...then the wine was fortified with neutral grape spirits to arrest the fermentation and leave behind the residual sugar. We are left with a luscious, aromatic, textured and beguiling wine. Strong (18.2% alcohol), sweet (113 grams residual sugar...that's more than 10% sugar) and aromatic, this wine will light fireworks on your palate and send sensory signals to every part of your being! Aromas of Muscat grapes, dried apricots, caramelized peaches, baked apples, nuts, pineapple curd and golden raisins rise from the glass and the flavors tickle your taste buds. Crazy delicious just sipped by itself, our Muscat de Boom will also be great with classic sweet wine combos like blue cheese and foie gras preparations. Also great with nuts and fruit-based desserts (especially containing apples, pears, apricots and peaches). Honestly, it's an elixir that will just make you smile. Chill lightly, maybe turn on some George Clinton and enjoy! There is a tiny amount, only 137 cases produced.

We are excited to offer you the new vintage of our Tocai Friulano! This delightful 2023 white wine is 100% Tocai Friulano from our Sylvanus Vineyard on the home farm in Bridgehampton. We are one of just a couple of producers growing and making Tocai Friulano on the East End of Long Island, and one of only a handful in the United States. Our Tocai was harvested by hand, whole cluster-pressed, fermented and raised in stainless steel tanks on its lees for eight months. This white grape is native to the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region in Northeast Italy and our version offers wonderful aromas and flavors of green and yellow apples, white grapefruit, green almonds, minerals, talc, Asian pears and spice. Our Tocai is pale straw in color with gold/green reflections, the wine is bone dry and possesses medium-body, moderate alcohol, juicy acidity and great persistence on the long, flavorful finish. There is an alluring sea salt minerality that keeps you coming back for more. Our Tocai has a great mouthfeel and manages the very gratifying textural paradox of a light, fresh, aromatic wine with a weighty, fleshy, fluidity that is just delightful. This is the quintessential prosciutto wine and also works well with other hams, salumi, fresh cheeses, fricos, pastas and risotto. Also, white fleshed fish dishes and our local clams (in pasta, casino, baked, raw and on a pizza!) are a tasty match. We hope you enjoy this delicious and unique white wine. 288 cases produced.

We love Chardonnay! Often we crave a pure, clean style that celebrates the fruit of our region and is very versatile at the table. Our 2021 Scuttlehole Chardonnay certainly fits the bill. This is a captivating and salivatingly delicious bright and crisp 100% Chardonnay wine. This wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks with no malo-lactic fermentation, resulting in a dry wine with flavors and aromas of minerals, apples, pears, citrus fruit and lemon curd. This fresh, unoaked wine is medium-bodied with balanced acidity and moderate alcohol. The wine is wonderfully juicy with the textural interplay of both linearity and roundness that provides great pleasure and interest. There is a plump creaminess (especially this 2021 vintage), that is unmistakably Chardonnay, contrasted by refreshing acidity and salty minerality. As always, the fruit for this wine was hand-picked, whole cluster-pressed, and handled minimally. The Chardonnay (from the classic Dijon clones) was harvested from all our Chardonnay vineyards on the South Fork. Our Scuttlehole Chardonnay continues to be a favorite by-the-glass pour due to its terrific versatility in food pairing. This 2021 Scuttlehole Chardonnay continues that tradition of boundless pairing potential at the table. Comfortable with either complementary or contrasting flavors, try this wine with crisp, briny shellfish or oily bluefish and wild salmon; fresh cheeses, a citrus roast chicken or a fresh salad with duck confit. We encourage you to experiment with our Scuttlehole Chardonnay and your favorite foods as it is so adaptable, versatile and delicious. Drink now and over through the next 3-4 years. 1288 cases produced.

A new vintage of L'Enfant Sauvage is always released with great excitement. L'Enfant Sauvage is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes hand-harvested from our Brick Kiln and Sculpture Garden vineyards here in Bridgehampton. The grapes are gently whole cluster-pressed, the juice settled overnight and then all new French oak barrels are filled to the top. The ambient/wild/spontaneous yeast kick in and the wine ferments. The secondary malo-lactic fermentation also happens spontaneously and we leave the wine on its lees with no topping until blending and bottling. This release, our 2018 L'Enfant Sauvage, spent 16 months in all new barrels, followed by another 6 months in tank! The wine is delicious, elegant, satisfying, juicy, wild and complex! The 2018 L'Enfant Sauvage is a beautiful clear gold color and possesses, piercing flavors and aromas of apples, lemon curd, pears, just-baked brioche, vanilla, pineapple, brown baking spices and salty minerals. The wine is dry, medium-bodied, has balanced acidity, moderate alcohol...and a long, complex, persistent finish. The aromas and flavors are fairly intense and long-lasting yet there is restraint, elegance and finesse enrobed in the rich, barrel-fermented style. One of the very rewarding aspects of L'Enfant is how approachable it is in its youth yet it really is a wine meant for 8-12 years of aging in bottle. It is thrilling to see the wine develop beautifully and still offer remarkable freshness, aliveness and potential for further development at six or eight or ten years of age. L'Enfant is always a great match for lobster, scallops, truffles, roast chicken, goose, wild salmon, arctic char and mushroom dishes. As we like to say, our 2018 L'Enfant Sauvage is a wine with a wild treble, a deep bass, a funky rhythm section, unforgettable melodies and beautiful harmony...don't miss the music! On August 14th, 2020 358 cases were bottled.

Our Mudd Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc has become a CDW classic...a staple that gets snatched up very quickly. Our 2023 Mudd Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is a clean, crisp, aromatic dry white wine that displays mineral, citrus, stone and tree-fruit flavors and aromas. This juicy white wine was fermented entirely in stainless steel and was made from the fruit of some of the oldest Sauvignon Blanc vines on Long Island which were planted in 1975 (on their own roots!). The soil in the Mudd Vineyard is mostly the Haven Loam with some portions being Riverhead Sandy Loam. As always, all the fruit was hand-picked, whole cluster-pressed, and handled minimally. Our 2023 version is 100% Sauvignon Blanc. This is a dynamic wine exhibiting medium body, moderate alcohol, juicy acidity and a long lasting, persistent finish with beautiful subtlety and delicacy. The 2023 Mudd Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is fresh, vibrant, precise and alive! It possesses flavors and aromas of white grapefruit, lime, herbs, cut grass, talc, tangy white peach, a chalky, salty minerality and even some hints of tropical fruits and white flowers. Our 2023 Mudd Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is just plain delicious and will match well with local oysters and clams, fresh chevre, charcuterie, asparagus and egg dishes as well as most white-fleshed fish. Don’t wait this year as we only made 308 cases.

We are thrilled to release the newest vintage of our delicious white wine, Mosaico. Mosaico is an exotic field blend that comes from a complanted block in our Sylvanus Vineyard on our farm in Bridgehampton. Our 2022 Mosaico is comprised of 32% Pinot Grigio, 29% Chardonnay, 14% Sauvignon Blanc, 10% Muscat Ottonel, 8% Gewurztraminer and 7% Tocai Friulano. This is a dry white wine where all the varieties were grown, harvested, pressed and fermented ambiently/wild together in a stainless steel tank. All the fruit was hand-picked and whole cluster-pressed, except for sixteen percent of the grapes which were fermented ambiently/wild on their skins in one-ton bins and blended back. This is a texturally delicious and aromatically unique white wine. The color is a beautiful light golden tone. The flavors and aromas are complex and deep, and range from citrus fruit (lemon), tree fruit (pears, apples), stone fruit (peaches, apricots), and tropical fruit (pineapple, mango, lychee). In addition, there are beautiful notes of flowers, honey, brown spices and our telltale saline minerality. The wine is medium-bodied, the alcohol and acidity are balanced, and the finish is long, clean, persistent and delicious. The 2022 Mosaico spent about a year on its lees in a stainless steel tank. Try this wine with all manner of fish and shellfish dishes as well as vegetables, chicken, pork or veal sausage and white meats that incorporate exotic and/or aromatic seasoning and spices. Our 2022 Mosaico is super delicious now and will offer great drinking opportunities over the next three to eight years. Only 288 cases were produced of the 2022 vintage so do not miss this wine.

We always love offering a new vintage of Pinot Grigio as ours defies the usual expectations of the grape. Our 2022 Pinot Grigio is alive with aromas and flavors of tree-ripe peaches (yellow and white), Golden and Granny Smith apples, pears, white flowers, spice, a touch of honey and what has become a tell-tale note in our whites; a salty, chalky minerality. This lovely dry white wine is clean, alluring and focused with loads of personality and a silken mouthfeel. We have often said that Pinot Grigio gets a bad rap from the thin, dilute industrial examples and we are proud to enlighten the naysayers with a Pinot Grigio of superior character. For our 2022 version all the fruit was hand-harvested, whole cluster-pressed and fermented in a stainless steel tank. The wine was handled minimally and bottled after eight months on its lees. Our 2022 is composed of 100% Pinot Grigio. The wine possesses a pale straw color with green inflections, medium-body, moderate alcohol, medium acidity and ends with a long juicy, satisfying finish. The 2022 Pinot Grigio features fruit from both our home farm in Bridgehampton and from the Mudd West Vineyard on the North Fork, hence the blended Long Island AVA. We are proud of our Pinot Grigio and encourage you to drink it with local fish and shellfish (especially fried), sheep's milk cheeses, zucchini frittatas, light chicken dishes, pastas and charcuterie. We made 398 cases of this wonderful wine and suggest taking advantage of the real and very attractive quality/value ratio - a great easy-drinking, versatile, every day as well as any-kind-of party white wine!

The last vintage we made this wine was 2016 so we are thrilled to have it back! This is is an enchanting, exotically-fruited, exuberant white wine! Our 2022 Cuvee Tropical is super aromatic and alive with white peaches, muscat grapes, yellow nectarines, golden apples, white flowers, pineapple, melon and that undeniable saline minerality that runs through so many of our wines. This light golden colored white wine is dry, medium-bodied with moderate alcohol and possesses a juicy acid balance. The wine is comprised of 58% Muscat Ottonel and 42% Chardonnay. The Chardonnay is multiple clones from our Brick Kiln and Scuttlehole Vineyards and the Muscat is from the Mudd West Vineyard on the North Fork. The Muscat was fermented wild/ambiently on its skins for 18 days and then rested in a stainless steel tank. The Chardonnay was also fermented wild/ambiently in a stainless steel tank and then the two lots were blended together. This is a delightful, gregariously aromatic, satisfying, jewel-like white wine. Our 2022 Cuvée Tropical is delicious on its own or as a match fish, poultry , fried foods, tamer blue cheeses and especially with mildly spicy foods. The Cuvée is also at home with shellfish (raw or cooked), white-fleshed fish and fresh cheeses. Our Cuvée Tropical is one of our wines that is always comfortable with a variety of world cuisines from Japanese to Indian to Mexican to Caribbean to Spanish and back to American, so we encourage experimentation. We made 408 cases of this wine. A final note...please do not drink this wine too cold - instead consume after just a few minutes in the fridge as to encourage its jovial, playful, perfumed personality. Cheers!

Our Vino Bianco is a delicious, symphonic white blend. This wine celebrates both forks of the East End of Long Island and has done so since its first vintage in 2001. Likely the first "white blend" in the region, it has inspired a slew of new blends from other producers creating a vibrant category in which the Long Island region excels. Our 2019 Vino Bianco is made from 50% Sauvignon Blanc, 40% Tocai Friulano, 8% Pinot Grigio and 2% Chardonnay. The wine is alive with aromas and flavors of citrus fruit, white flowers, golden apples, lemon curd, white peaches, pears, spice, chalky minerality and the sea. The wine is juicy and texturally satisfying, succulent, complex, long and beguiling. We believe in blending because it creates complex, complete and ultimately delicious wines. This is demonstrated by the versatility of the wine at the table. Able to pair with shellfish and fish dishes as well as feel comfortable with poultry, veal (vitello tonnato) and even pork, our 2019 Vino Bianco offers a wealth of opportunities, tastes and textures. For this wine, all the varieties were harvested and vinified (approximately 50% wild and 50% inoculated) separately, and then blended together. The Sauvignon Blanc, Tocai, Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio were all fermented and raised in a combination of stainless steel tanks as well as a few older oak barrels and hogsheads. This wine has benefited from some resting in the bottle and is absolutely delicious now and will drink wonderfully for at least another three to four years. 388 cases produced. No limits and a seriously great value!

At the end of May 2020 amidst quarantine we had an idea and acted quickly to bring it to life. The wine was a great success and we decided to produce it one more time in the 2021 vintage as we just didn’t want to let it go!

We created HEART to celebrate our Winery, our Community and our Earth. We wanted to create something special in the bottle and send Love and Heart out into our world.

We wanted to make a new Channing Daughters wine, taking advantage of the wonderful raw materials we had in the cellar and produce a new symphonic white blend! A response to our current situation. A wine that over-delivers Deliciousness and Joy and celebrates our Winery and our Community that is helping our small business and winery and vineyard survive during these crazy days.

After blending the wine, we began brainstorming about the name and label and all that seemed appropriate was "Heart". The idea, the word, the image, the love, the organ, the metaphor, the abstraction. We imagined a series of labels inspired by Heart and Channing Daughters Winery. We wanted 12 different labels of Love and Heart to adorn the wine and fill the case. We wanted local artists, deeply connected to us and the winery. So, we asked a dozen stellar humans/local artists to create special artwork for this wine inspired by "Heart". We couldn't be more thrilled with what they all came up with and with this Gem of a wine and the Joy and Beauty created by this collaboration with our community and friends. We hope it brings the same joy and deliciousness and love and heart into your world and home. ❤

Our 2021 Heart is a symphonic white blend that combines the best of seven grape varieties. This is made from 29% Muscat Ottonel, 21% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Grigio, 18% Tocai Friulano, 6% Gewurztraminer, 5% Pinot Bianco and 1 % Malvasia. Our 2021 Heart is an exotic, symphonic white blend bolstered by aromatic bursts of Muscat aromas, fleshed out by the Pinots and Chard, with added verve, freshness and geometry provided by the Gewurz and Tocai Friulano. This is a complex and unique white wine full of deliciousness and life. The texture is plump and beguiling with cleansing acidity and a long finish. The aromas and flavors are piercing and range in fruit character from citrus to tree to stone to tropical. The Muscat really promotes those exotic, tropical, alluring aromatics. It can be hard to put the glass down. There is a generosity coupled with raciness in this dry wine that is quite satisfying and keeps one coming back for more. The Chardonnay and the Muscat/Pinot Grigio/Pinot Bianco were all fermented ambiently/wild in stainless steel. The Gewurztraminer was also fermented wild/ambiently on its skins and the Tocai was inoculated and fermented separately in stainless steel. After eight months on their lees the wines were blended together into a stainless steel tank. Our 2021 Heart was bottled on June 9th, 2022. This wine will pair beautifully with so many foods from the bounty of our bays and ocean that offer up a plethora of fish and shellfish to fresh local goat and cow's milk cheeses. Simply prepared summer and autumn veggies. Pastas, poultry and light pork and veal preps. Our Heart would easily stand up to some lightly spiced fare as well, so have fun and experiment with this one, you will love it!

$20 bottle full-retail, that's a crazy price we know, but we want you to take advantage and be able to drink more great wine for less. We produced 1088 cases of this wine and we encourage you all to buy it by the case. We labeled the wine so it would allow us to have all 12 different artists' work in each limited-edition box.

Restraint...Elegance...Finesse. These are the words that consistently spring to mind after smelling and tasting a new vintage of Brick Kiln Chardonnay. Deliciousness and reflection of place are what we seek, and they continue to find a home in this graceful white wine. Crafted from 100% sustainably-grown Chardonnay grapes that were hand-picked from our Brick Kiln Vineyard in Bridgehampton, this beautiful white wine was whole cluster-pressed then barrel fermented and raised in older (two to ten-year-old) French and Slovenian barriques (228L) for twelve months. The resulting wine is light straw-colored with green and gold inflections and is bone dry, medium-bodied, possesses moderate alcohol and juicy, balanced acidity. There are gorgeous aromas and flavors of pears, golden apples, white flowers, nectarine, lemon curd, brown spice and a saline minerality. Very tasty now, this wine has the luxury of a few years of bottle age and is still unfolding in the glass slowly and with youthful complexity that suggests it will develop for a couple more years and drink well for a decade. Match this wine with salmon, arctic char, lobster pasta, smoked trout, ham, roast chicken, mushroom risotto or winter squash. Our 2017 Brick Kiln has a long, round, juicy finish that is persistent with great pleasure. It is wonderful to have a Chardonnay that offers richness, satisfaction and weight and which still offers a lightness of being and keeps you coming back for more. We are proud to offer you our 2017 Brick Kiln Chardonnay! 418 cases were produced. 1 case limit per customer.

This is a delicious, distinctive Sauvignon Blanc for many situations and all seasons. This jewel-like white wine was created from 82% Sauvignon Blanc and 18% Tocai Friulano grapes hand-harvested from the Mudd West Vineyard on the North Fork. All the fruit was whole cluster-pressed and the juice and wine handled minimally throughout its life. The wine was barrel-fermented (fermented wild/ambiently) and raised in 37% new French oak barrels & hogsheads, 28% stainless steel barrels and 35% older/neutral oak barrels for ten months. This is a refined white wine offering medium body, moderate alcohol, juicy acidity and a long, persistent, tangy finish.

Clones is a barrel-fermented chardonnay with a skin-fermented twist! Our 2014 Clones is wild, alluring and sexy. Clones is a unique white blend that is based primarily on ten distinct clones of Chardonnay and also includes five other grape varieties. The 2014 version is composed of 70% Chardonnay, 13% Tocai Friulano, 8% Sauvignon Blanc, 5% Pinot Grigio, 2% Muscat Ottonel and 2% Gewurztraminer,  This dry white wine is light gold in color with pronounced aromas and flavors of poached pear, toasted apple, minerals, brown spices, lemon glaze, lemon curd, honey, brioche, white flowers and marcona almonds. Our 2014 Clones is medium-bodied, has moderate alcohol, juicy acidity and a long, persistent, flavorful finish. The wine was fermented and raised in Slovenian and French oak puncheons, hogsheads and barrels of which 33% were new and 67% were older and neutral.  The majority of the wine, but not all, was fermented with ambient/wild yeast and went through a "natural" secondary or malo-lactic fermentation.   The oak integration (12 months spent in barrel) in our 2014 Clones is lovely and the balance of fruit, acid, alcohol and oak coupled with the finesse and paradoxical texture of rich and round with a precise and angular mouthfeel make this a truly excellent bottle of Chardonnay. The finish is long, complex and persistent. The fruit for the wine was all hand-harvested and the Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Tocai were whole cluster-pressed while a bit of the gewurz, tocai, pinot grigio and muscat were fermented on their skins and then blended back into the Chardonnay lot. The juice and wine were handled minimally and the wine was bottled by gravity on September 11th, 2015. The wine has benefitted from time in bottle and is irresistible now, however our 2014 "Clones" will improve for two or three years more in the bottle and drink well for at least another five years. Pair this tasty white with a roast chicken, smoked trout, crispy skin wild salmon or char, local bluefish, sautéed scallops, local monkish, mushroom risotto or a clam pie. 322 cases produced. 8 bottle max per customer.

Sylvanus is a wine of place, a vin de terroir. This bone-dry, aromatic white wine is a true field blend comprised of 60% Muscat, 30% Pinot Grigio and 10% Pinot Bianco all grown together, harvested together and fermented together. Sylvanus is not only the name of the wine, but also the name of the vineyard and the legendary Green Man who this vineyard and wine honor. In creating a field blend as opposed to blending different wine lots together, we are capturing the essence of our time and place as expressed by the vineyard Sylvanus. All of the fruit was hand-harvested, whole cluster-pressed, fermented in stainless steel barrels (42%) and older oak barrels (58%). Two bins of grapes were skin-fermented for 15 days and blended back in adding a punch of aromatics, flavor and texture. The wine was handled minimally and bottled by gravity on September 4th, 2015. Our 2014 Sylvanus is straw colored and possesses a clean, pronounced aromatic personality. The wine is medium-bodied, has moderate alcohol and juicy acidity. The flavors and aromas are reminiscent of grapes, tangerines, grapefruit, minerals and flowers like honeysuckle and nasturtium. Our Sylvanus is juicy, tangy and alive with a long gratifying almost spicy and saline finish. This is the perfect aperitif wine and also pairs with stuffed squash blossoms, fresh cheeses, oysters and clams on the half shell (or a clam pie!), light salads, or charcuterie. There is a lovely inter-play between the light, ethereal qualities of this wine and its satisfying ripeness and swelling texture. Our 2014 Sylvanus encompasses the paradoxical quality of aromatic lift, lightness and fleshy weight. 396 cases produced.

Wow, this wine jumps out of the glass and envelops you in a whirlwind of luscious tropical and ripe stone fruit aromas! A partner in deliciousness to our Research Cab but fashioned from white fruit instead of red, this is our white-scale version which also falls in the “orange wine” category. Our 2018 Research Bianco is a skin-fermented white wine blend in which the proportions and varieties change with each vintage. A good friend supplied the grapes from a "research" vineyard on the East End. All the grapes were grown together (a field blend), hand-picked, de-stemmed, crushed by foot and punched down by hand. Our 2018 Research Bianco is made from 46% Muscat Ottonel, 27% Gewürztraminer, 10% Sauvignon Blanc, 5% Arneis, 5% Gruner Veltliner, 3% Moscato Giallo, 1% Aligoté, 1% Malvasia, 1% Pinot Grigio and 1% Tocai Friulano. This 2018 Research Bianco was raised in older oak barrels, hogsheads and puncheons for eight months. It was fermented ambiently/wild with all the varieties co-fermented and spent just over fifteen days on its skins. Our 2018 Research Bianco is a gorgeous deep golden color and is full of flavors and aromas reminiscent of grilled pineapple, ripe mango, dried apricots, poached pears, quince, and honey, butterscotch, brown spice, apple compote, burnt orange and golden raisins. The wine possesses medium-body, juicy acidity and medium-alcohol with pronounced aromatic intensity and long persistent length. There's something so heightened, so treble, so Freddie Mercury about this wine...in fact, music by Queen would be great to pair with this vino! (Along with roast chicken, grilled fish, pork chops, sausages and charcuterie boards, hard aged cheeses and fondue and friends). This wine was bottled on May 24th, 2019. There are only a few extra bottles after we send this out to our beloved wine club, so if you want a bottle or two do not wait.

Ramato is a special skin-fermented white wine, or what many are now calling an "orange" wine. Ramato refers to the old Friulian style of fermenting Pinot Grigio on its skins, thus creating a coppery-colored wine (in fact the Italian word “Ramato” refers to the copper color). All the Pinot Grigio fruit (from both our home farm in Bridgehampton and the Mudd West Vineyard on the North Fork) for our Ramato was hand-picked, handled minimally, fermented on its skins (with wild /ambient yeast) in small bins for nineteen days and raised in older French and Slovenian oak puncheons (large 500L barrels) for Eight months. Not only is the wine alluring and delicious to smell and taste but our Ramato possesses an absolutely gorgeous color to admire...star-bright and somewhere between electric orange and burnished copper. There are aromas and flavors of honey, brown spices, chamomile, dried apricots, pear skin, tropical citrus, earl grey tea, baked apples, caramel and peaches. The wine has balanced acidity, only 12% alcohol, medium-plus body and great persistence of flavor on the finish. This dry, exotic, textured and aromatic wine falls somewhere between a white and a red but does not fit neatly into the pink category, thus the “orange”. Pair our Ramato with hard cheeses, charcuterie, fish, chicken and pork preparations that include spices, nuts, grains or squash. Exotic, lightly spiced and earthy foods will work marvelously with this wine. Our 2022 Ramato will also be a great addition to the table year-round with its cornucopia of savory and sweet aromas juxtaposed by dryness and complex texture. This is an exceedingly delicious and exciting wine that yearns to be seen, smelled and tasted. Drink this wine now at cellar temp in large glasses and over the next six plus years. 888 cases produced.

We are very excited to offer you a new vintage of Ribolla Gialla! Ribolla Gialla is an ancient white grape variety most often found in Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Slovenia. This delicate, floral, high-acid white grape has documentation back to the 13th century in Friuli. Known as Rebula in Slovenia and likely Robola in Greece this variety has been celebrated for hundreds of years. There is very little grown in the United States...with most of the bottling's originating from George Vare's Vineyard in California. We grow a small plot here on our farm in the Scuttlehole and Brick Kiln vineyards. This is a small production skin-fermented white or "orange" wine, there are only 58 cases in 2020 and this Ribolla has a great deal of intrigue and charm and personality so it likely won't stick around. Our 2020 Ribolla is an aromatic and textural delight. Hand-harvested and fermented on its skins for 21 days, like a red wine, this wine displays a polished golden color and offers aromas and flavors of chamomile, yellow peaches, lemon curd, dried apricots, yellow plums, apple and pear skin, white flowers and salty minerals. There is a bit of grip and the wine offers great balance of fruit, light skin tannins, zippy acidity and moderate 12% alcohol which makes this wine amazingly spry on its feet for all the complexity. Our 2020 Ribolla Gialla is comprised of 100% Ribolla, and spent nearly a year in older neutral oak barrels. This wine offers boundless opportunities at the table from local fish and shellfish to fall veggies and root vegetables including squash, parsnips, potatoes, cauliflower and pumpkin to lighter white meats like pork and veal. Journey and explore with this wine...it is fun, delicious and a little bit like Jazz. 58 cases produced. Don't miss this rare, special and delicious wine!

And now...The Envelope, please...

This wine is electric! The color, the aromas, the flavors, the textures all pulse with vitality. Our 2016 Envelope is exotic, enticing, exciting and is all about paradox. A white wine with color... made like a red...a white with tannin and structure...a full-bodied, broad wine with moderate alcohol and a cleansing, juicy quality with full malo-lactic fermentation! This is fantastic stuff! Our 2016 Envelope is an intriguingly aromatic and an intoxicatingly delicious skin-fermented "orange" wine. The flavors and aromas are reflective of dried apricots, peaches, honey, roses, lychees, brown spice, brown sugar, apple compote, minerals, butterscotch and dried papaya. This is nuts, yes there are those flavors too in this complex, inviting wine. Made from 52% Chardonnay, 30% Gewürztraminer, 14% Malvasia Bianca and 4% Albariño this is a dry, full-bodied white that has a gorgeous psychedelic orange appearance. This is a balanced, long wine that would be delicious with corn, squash, smoked ham, duck and figs, quince paste and cheese, seeds, root vegetables, caramelized flavors and most things porcine. Not to mention a good Cioppino or Bouillabaisse or Chowder! All the fruit was hand-harvested and was gently de-stemmed, crushed by foot and fermented on its skins. The wine was all co-fermented (all with wild/ambient yeast) for 16-25 days on its skin after which the wine was bucketed out and pressed off, then put in 23% new and the remaining 77% in old/neutral oak puncheons, barrels and hogsheads where the wine spent 22 months before it was bottled. Only 188 cases of this gem were produced!

Sylvanus is a wine of place, a vin de terroir. Sylvanus is a wine made from white grapes that in the past we have produced as a still, modern, aromatic style and as a sparkling Methode Ancestrale (Pet-Nat) style. We now we have an ancient skin-fermented style or what is commonly referred to as an orange wine. This vineyard and the grapes grown there shine through in every style we have produced. We are thrilled to offer this celebratory skin-fermented version from the 2020 vintage. Lovers of past incarnations of Sylvanus will find much to adore in this version. Our 2020 Sylvanus Skins is a dry, aromatic, skin-fermented white wine. It is a field blend comprised of 46% Muscat, 29% Gewurztraminer, 20% Pinot Grigio and 5% Pinot Bianco all grown together, harvested together and fermented together. Sylvanus is not only the name of the wine, but also the name of the vineyard and the legendary Green Man who this vineyard and wine honor. In creating a field blend as opposed to blending different wine lots together, we are capturing the essence of our time and place as expressed by the Sylvanus vineyard. All of the fruit was hand-harvested, whole cluster-pressed, co-fermented on their skins in one-ton bins for 16 days until dry. The wine was matured in older oak barrels for eight months and bottled at the beginning of June 2021. Our 2020 Sylvanus Skins is a deep golden/tangerine color and possesses a clean, pronounced absurdly aromatic personality. The wine is medium-bodied, has moderate alcohol and juicy acidity. The flavors and aromas burst from the glass and on your palate and include apricots, tangerines, grapefruit and quince along with minerals and flowers like honeysuckle, magnolia and nasturtium. Our Sylvanus is juicy, tangy and alive with a long gratifying almost spicy and saline finish. This is a delicious skin-fermented wine and will pair well with a wide variety of food such as local scallops or striped bass, stuffed squash blossoms, a plethora of cheeses, oysters and clams (or a clam pie!), bucatini carbonara, pork and veal, lightly spiced Indian food, sushi and charcuterie. There is a lovely inter-play between the aromas, flavors and textures. There are ethereal qualities to this wine and its satisfying ripeness, pronounced aromatics and swelling textures encompass the paradoxical quality of aromatic lift, lightness and fleshy weight. Sylvanus Skins is super fly. 208 cases produced.

Meditazione is an exotic, delicious, non-traditional white skin-fermented blend initially inspired by the "Vino da Meditazione" wines in the Friuli region of Northeast Italy. Some now like to call this style of wine "orange" or "amber" due to their deeper golden, orange, amber hued tones the wines take on after contact with the skins of the white grapes. This is our fourteenth vintage of this wine and we are thrilled that the following for our Meditazione by consumers, the press and sommeliers has soared. This is a style of wine that is ancient yet only relatively recently revived, touted and appreciated again in the wine world. Indeed, the color of these wines are darker than other whites due to the skin maceration, ours has a beautiful rich, deep golden almost electric orange inflected hue. Our 2018 Meditazione is comprised of 45% Chardonnay. 40% Sauvignon Blanc, 10% Tocai Friulano, 4% Pinot Grigio and 1% Muscat Ottonel.. All the fruit for this Meditazione was hand-harvested from our Mosaico block on our estate in Bridgehampton. The fruit was de-stemmed and the grapes were fermented together wild/ambiently on their skins for sixteen days in one ton open top fermenter bins. Raised in mostly neutral (89%) French and Slovenian oak puncheons, barrels and hogsheads for 34 months and followed by one year in bottle: this is a textured, aromatic and delicious white wine that appeals to both the senses and the intellect. Our 2018 Meditazione is dry, medium bodied, on the low side of moderate alcohol (12%) and possesses juicy acidity. The flavors and aromas are exotic, concentrated, penetrating and complex. They remind one of chamomile tea, citrus and apple blossoms, fresh and dried apricots, pear skin, brown baking spices, white, yellow and orange flowers, peaches, honey, caramel and dried mango. The fruit spectrum runs the gamut from herbal to citrus to stone to tropical! This rich wine has sex appeal and a long persistent finish. Our 2018 Meditazione is complex, full of deliciousness, long, lingering, sweet on the nose, savory on the palate, intoxicating, paradoxical, irresistible and still just a baby! This wine ages effortlessly for a decade plus so put some away too! Drink our 2018 Meditazione with game birds (squab, quail), pork belly, sausages, aged alpine cheeses and fish, poultry and pork dishes containing nuts, seeds or squash. It will also be excellent with veal Marsala and items with sherry sauces. Do not over chill this wine as it will mute the flavors and try thinking about it more in the context of a red wine (in fact pour it in a large glass) which will open a new universe to you. Only 468 cases were produced. 12 bottle max per customer.

We are always very happy to release a new vintage of our lovely Blaufrankisch. Over the years this variety has proven its affinity with our climate and we love to use it both as a blending grape and as a varietal bottling. Our 2019 version is comprised of 75% Blaufrankisch and 25% Dornfelder. This 2019 Blau has a ruby-red colored rim with purple inflections and a dark opaque core. The aromas and flavors are sexy and full of boysenberry, purple flowers, black plum, black raspberry, blackberry, lavender, violet, tobacco leaf and a resiny savory spice. This is a dry, supple, sexy wine with Burgundian texture and great concentration. And all we did was pick ripe, healthy, beautiful grapes and de-stem them in a bin. The alcohol is moderate (12%), the acid is juicy and balanced; the tannins are present but soft and the wine offers a great deal of pleasure, alluring aromatics and a long delicious finish. All the fruit was hand-picked from the Mudd West Vineyard in Hallockville on the North Fork, de-stemmed, fermented wild/ambiently, crushed by foot and punched down by hand in small one-ton bins. The wine spent ten months in older oak hogsheads and barrels. Our 2019 Blaufrankisch Mudd West Vineyard is a great match with grains, game meats, pork and lamb chops, beef roasts, mushrooms, aged cheeses and veal. While irresistible now this wine will be even better with another 5-7 years more bottle aging, so pick up a few extra bottles to taste along its evolution. First come-first served. 148 cases produced.

This is the eleventh year that our Sculpture Garden is grown and produced as a true red field blend. This beautiful light ruby-red colored wine consists of 91% Merlot, 6% Teroldego and 3% Blaufränkisch. All the varieties were grown together in our Sculpture Garden Vineyard (the oldest on the South Fork, planted in 1982 & 1987), picked together and fermented wild/ambiently together. All the fruit was hand-harvested, de-stemmed (but not crushed), stomped on by foot and punched down by hand. The wine went through a natural malo-lactic fermentation and was raised in older French oak barrels for 24 months. The wine was handled minimally (only racked once) and was bottled on November 17th, 2021. The wine may throw sediment over time and we would recommend decanting after several years in the bottle. The wine is delicious now and has even started to show some secondary aromas but will still improve in the bottle wonderfully for another 4-8 years and drink well for a decade plus. Our 2019 Sculpture Garden smells of red and black fruit and is awash in aromas and fruit flavors of black raspberry, red plum, red cherry and briary boysenberry in addition to some smoke, brown baking spice notes and cedar chest. There is an underlying beautifully inviting tar resin and tobacco leaf quality in this seductive and complex red wine. The wine is dry and retains a medium-body, moderate alcohol and balanced acidity. Our 2019 Sculpture Garden displays ripe fruit coupled with juicy acidity and youthful tension which beautifully expresses our maritime climate with its savory rather than sweet palate and elegance that is alluring. There is always a silky, smooth, supple quality to our Sculpture Garden and the great length is complemented by a textural, aromatic and flavor complexity, whose qualities truly improve with age (really, try this wine a decade out)! When feeling more formal pair this wine with Long Island duck, lamb chops or a prime rib roast and when you're in a more casual mood match with rich meaty pastas, burgers and grilled fatty fish. Just 368 cases produced.

Our Dorn & Blau is a wine we have only made five times before and the last vintage was 2019! When presented with lots of beautiful Blaufrankisch and Dornfelder grapes we love to make this delicious and unique red wine (not to mention the blend is just plain delicious). Over the years these varieties have proven their affinity for each other and for our climate and we love to blend them together. Our 2022 Dorn & Blau is comprised of 67% Dornfelder and 33% Blaufrankisch. We feel the Dornfelder and Blaufrankisch are a great match and together highlight the darker colors, briary, bramble, game meat and spiced fruit character of these two grapes. This 2022 wine has a dark purple-ruby colored rim with purple inflections and a translucent core. The aromas and flavors are full of black raspberry, black plum, blackberry, lavender, violet, and a resiny savory spice. This is a dry, supple, sexy wine with silky texture and great concentration. The alcohol is moderate, the acids juicy and balanced; the tannins are present but soft and the wine offers a great deal of pleasure and a long delicious finish. All the fruit was hand-picked from our Sylvanus Vineyard here in Bridgehampton and the Mudd West vineyard in Hallockville on the North Fork, hence the Long Island AVA. The fruit for this wine was de-stemmed, crushed by foot, fermented wild and punched down by hand and shovel in small one-ton bins. The wine spent about a year in old French oak barrels and hogsheads. Our 2022 Dorn & Blau is a great match with wild game (flying or four-legged), venison, pork roasts, lamb burgers, sausages (especially merguez or chorizo), short ribs, truffle cheeses, hoisin and teriyaki. It would also be delicious with pappardelle and wild boar ragu or any salted, cured porcine product! This wine is still youthful and while quite delicious now, it will also benefit from additional cellaring for another 5-8 years. Enjoy! 168 cases produced. First come first served to the few bottles we have remaining.

Research Cab is a very special wine to which only our Wine Club members have exclusive access since it is made in such small quantities. Born out of a long-standing relationship with a "Research" vineyard on the North Fork we fashion a deliciously expressive red wine out of what is essentially a field blend of many different varieties. Our 2021 vintage is comprised of 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 9% Saperavi, 5% Blaufrankisch, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot, 1% Sangiovese, 1% Barbera, 1% Malbec and 1% Dornfelder. All the fruit for this wine was harvested by hand, de-stemmed, stomped on by foot and punched down by hand. After an ambient/wild primary fermentation, the wine was racked to all older neutral French oak barrels where it spent a bit over two years maturing. The wine was only moved (racked) once and a mere 168 cases were bottled. Beautiful clarity and a translucent ruby core coupled with inviting aromas of red and black raspberry, black cherry, black plum, dark bramble fruit, spice, purple flowers, earth, resin and wet stone are met with an elegance of texture and a supple, smooth silky palate with enough underlying tannic structure and juicy acidity for the wine to develop and improve in the bottle. This is a young wine and while delicious already, will easily improve in the bottle for the next 8-10 years. Since it is hard to resist now, we recommend splash decanting the wine before you plan on consuming it! Pair this luscious, tasty red with Long Island duck, herb crusted lamb chops, beef and pork roasts or mushroom and grain-based dishes. But there isn't much 2021 Research Cab to go around and it is tasty...after we send our beloved wine club a bottle each, we only have a few cases left. So first come first serve for those precious bottles remaining of our dynamite 2021 Research Cab!

Stoked to have this wine back as we have not made it since the 2015 vintage! Due Uve is a fun, playful and aromatic wine. Our new 2022 vintage is a supple, graceful, delicious and inviting experience. The 2022 Due Uve (two grapes) is a blend of 62% Syrah and 38% Refosco. The Syrah comes from the Mudd West Vineyard in Hallockville on the North Fork and the Refosco comes from our Home Farm Vineyard here on our farm in Bridgehampton. All the fruit was hand-harvested, de-stemmed into one-ton bins, stomped on by foot, and punched down by hand and shovel. After a wild/ambient primary fermentation the wine was racked to all older neutral barrels, where it spent ten months. Our 2022 Due Uve is a ruby red color with purple inflections and a translucent core. The wine is dry, medium-bodied and juicy, has moderate alcohol and is vibrant and tasty. There are floral, fruit, mineral and spice components to the flavor and aroma profile. Violets, blueberry, black raspberry, blackberry, black cherry, black licorice, wet stone, cocoa, cinnamon and just a touch of black pepper are some of the descriptors that come to mind. This wine possesses lightness and elegance but is robust and deep enough to tackle some exotic flavor experiences. Try with soy and teriyaki flavors as well as more classic preparations of fish, poultry, grain, pork, veal and pasta dishes. Due Uve is very attractive, very approachable and very versatile. This is an uber-delicious wine to enjoy in its vibrant youth and over the next 5-7 years with great satisfaction. Only 208 cases were bottled of the 2022 vintage!

We are always very happy to release a new vintage of our lovely Blaufrankisch. Over the years this variety has proven its affinity with our climate and we love to use it both as a blending grape and as a varietal bottling. Our 2019 Sylvanus Vineyard Blaufrankisch is comprised of 75% Blaufrankisch and 25% Dornfelder. We feel the Dornfelder is a great match as a blending grape with its darker color, lower acid, briary, bramble and spice fruit character. This 2019 wine has a ruby-red colored rim with purple inflections and a transparent purple core. The aromas and flavors are full of black raspberries, blackberries, plums, boysenberries, violets, brown spice and black pepper. This is a dry, supple, sexy wine with Burgundian texture and great concentration. The alcohol is moderate (12%), the acids juicy and balanced, the tannins are present but soft, and the wine offers a great deal of pleasure and a long delicious finish. All the fruit was hand-picked from our Sylvanus Vineyard here in Bridgehampton on the South Fork, de-stemmed, crushed by foot and punched down by hand in small one-ton bins. The wine spent about 10 months in puncheons and barriques made from old French and Slovenian oak. Our 2019 Blaufrankisch Sylvanus Vineyard is a great match with venison, sausages, pork roasts, meatballs, duck, game birds, veal chops, hard mountain and washed-rind cheeses as well as earthy grain and squash-based dishes and mushrooms. This wine would also be a great choice for smoked bluefish and richer fish preparations. Our 2019 Sylvanus Vineyard Blau is still youthful and will age in the bottle easily for at least another five+ years! Irresistible now as well, it will benefit from decanting and large stemware! Enjoy. 208 cases produced. 1 case max per customer.

This is a ridiculously fun, fascinating and delicious red wine! There are people in the world making red wines with a ripasso method and there are people in the world using a solera system of blending for some red wines but we know of no one, other than us, who have put both together to create a distinctive and tasty red wine! It all began with four barriques of 2004 Merlot that was taken out of barrel and re-passed over the fresh 2006 Merlot and Dornfelder fruit. The wine underwent another primary fermentation and was racked to barriques, hogsheads and puncheons where it underwent another malo-lactic fermentation. Half of the wine was taken and bottled after ten months in oak, and this was Variation One. The other half remained in barrel until the next harvest where it was re-passed over the 2007 Merlot, Syrah and Dornfelder fruit. It was all repeated and we bottled half as Variation Two. We did this again in the 2008 harvest and bottled Variation Three. This happened "Over and Over" again in 2009 for Variation Four and again in the beautiful, warm, dry 2010 vintage for Variation Five. Took a year off and the wine spent the time in barrel during the 2011 vintage, then we re-passed the lot again over the 2012 vintage for Variation Six and again in 2013 for Variation Seven and again in 2014 for Variation Eight and again in 2015 for Variation Nine and again in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 for Variation Ten, Eleven, Twelve, Thirteen and Fourteen and yet again in 2021 for this Variation Fifteen!!! This wine has undergone sixteen primary and sixteen malo-lactic fermentations and has in it memories of the 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 harvests. We WILL continue to do this over & over.

Variation Fifteen is bright with dark fruit and there is a purity of red and black berry expression coupled with an integrated oak component this year that is remarkably sexy and alluring. Violets, black raspberries, black pepper, black cherries, black plums, resin, prunes and brown baking spices are the primary descriptors that come to mind in this well-balanced, dry, medium-bodied and seamless red wine. This is a pure and polished variation of this wine with a silken mouthfeel. Yes, it does keep getting better with each new Variation. Delicious, long complex flavors and textures fill one's mouth and mind. The finish is persistent and shows great complexity and intermingling of both the mature secondary characteristics and its youthful attributes. This is a wine that reflects the old and the new, the North and the South, the warm and the cool and provides us with something entirely different to think about and experience. Drink this musical, lyrical wine with all manner of game birds, fatty fish, pork, veal, lamb, grains, mushrooms and root vegetables now and over the next decade plus. 228 cases produced. 12 bottle max per customer.

Long Island Lagrein...delicious, singular, expressive and downright super-cool! This is the ninth vintage bottled of our Lagrein as a red wine and we are thrilled we have enough of this 2021 vintage to send to our awesome wine club. Lagrein is a bit of an off-the-beaten-track variety for the East End as we were the first winery growing and making wine out here from this great black grape variety that hails originally from the Alto Adige in Northeast Italy. Our 2022 version has a deep purple, almost opaque color with clean, super youthful, sexy aromas and flavors of blue and black fruit like blueberries and black raspberries; along with black pepper and graphite, purple flowers (iris and violets), cocoa, stone, mineral and an alluring exotic resin note. This is seriously distinctive stuff. It is a satisfyingly rich, deep red wine with an uplifting elegance and lightness of being likely due to the juicy acidity and the wine's medium-body and moderate alcohol. As always, this vintage of Lagrein saw the grapes hand-harvested, de-stemmed, crushed by foot, punched down by hand and fermented ambiently...old-school! This wine then spent ten months in older neutral French oak barrels. It stayed in barrel without movement until we racked and bottled the wine. Only 148 cases of this divine Lagrein were bottled so don't sit around if you want to take possession of your allocation! This is super tasty now but is very young and tightly wound and will develop well in the bottle for at least 5-6 years and will drink beautifully for at least a decade more. Pair this dynamic red wine with rich, savory fish dishes like monkfish wrapped with pancetta or swordfish with an olive tapenade or tuna atop seared foie gras as well as stews and braises, grain and rice dishes, especially with mushrooms and roasted meats. This would also be fantastic with cured items like speck and lardo either on a charcuterie board or even atop some crispy flatbread or pizza. 3 bottle max per customer. First come, first served…

The new vintage of Petit Verdot is absolutely delicious! We now know and are convinced of the great potential of Petit Verdot as a stand-alone grape here on the East End of Long Island. We have made Petit Verdot into a delicious red wine in the 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and now 2019 vintages and there is no doubt it is a star in our cellar. Petit Verdot is a black grape variety most often found in the red blends of the Medoc region of Bordeaux. Planted in small quantities around the world it is a small-berried, thick skinned variety. Our 2019 version is comprised of 100% Petit Verdot all from the Mudd West Vineyard on the North Fork, so it really showcases the grape and place. The 2019 Petit Verdot is a dark, dry, spicy purple/red wine full of black and blue fruit character. The wine is rich and delicious, very aromatic and almost too easy to drink. Purple flowers, minerals, blueberries, black currants, wet stone, wild blackberries, and exotic spice are all there along with a touch of licorice or anise. So too is depth, purity and sex appeal. The wine is long, enticing, concentrated, textural, complex...simply delicious! There is balance of fruit character, moderate alcohol, juicy acidity, ripe, grippy tannins and integrated oak. As with all our red wines this wine was made from hand-harvested fruit that was de-stemmed, fermented wild, stomped on by foot and punched down by hand. The wine was raised in all older/neutral oak barrels for 21 months. This wine will match fantastically with prime rib, roast lamb and pork, grilled steaks, smoked bluefish, mushrooms, duck confit, squab and grain dishes. Our 2019 Petit Verdot is really a baby and while approachable and delectable now the wine will continue to improve in the bottle for more than a decade. We only made 388 cases, so don't wait on securing some. It may not last that long! 12 bottle max per customer (and put at least three to six of those bottles away for a long time!)

A new vintage of Rosso Fresco is out and we are stoked! We open the bottle, pour a glass...swirl, sniff, taste...and "Wow...Fun, Fresh, Delish and oh so darn good!" These are the first words out when writing the notes about our new 2020 vintage of Rosso Fresco and have been for years.

The 2020 version is comprised of 56% Merlot, 20% Syrah, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Dornfelder, 1% Blaufrankisch and 1% Teroldego. There are beautiful high-toned aromas and flavors of red cherry, blackberry, red raspberry, red plum, red current, spice and earth. This dry red wine is medium-bodied, has moderate (just under 12%) alcohol, balanced acid, very soft, silky tannins and a juicy persistent finish. Rosso Fresco is a playful, full-flavored, fun, friendly red wine that pairs well with pastas and just about any fish, fowl or four-legged food you serve with it. The 2020 Rosso Fresco has a Long Island AVA and is made from hand-harvested grapes from both the North and the South Forks. All the grapes were de-stemmed, crushed by foot and punched down by hand. Our 2020 Rosso Fresco was fermented wild/ambiently, was not fined, and was filtered once. The wine spent eight months in stainless steel tanks and older oak barrels before bottling. Our 2020 Rosso Fresco is a very versatile red wine and will bring you year-round pleasure. The wine was handled minimally, as always. Enjoy our 2020 Rosso Fresco at cellar temperature over the next two to five years. Or put a slight chill on it if its hot out! Irresistible, this is a crushable, crunchy, delicious red wine! We bottled 988 cases of this fragrant and amazingly yummy wine. Stock up!

We made super small lots of pure Syrah in the 2015, 2017 and 2019 vintages...and because it was fun and delicious, we decided to do it again! So here is our 2020 Syrah from the Mudd West Vineyard. This wine is 100% Syrah fruit, as always hand-harvested grapes, stomped on by foot and punched down by hand and shovel. Fermented wild and bottled on September 1st, 2021 after ten months in older oak barrels. This is a blue-fruited, blackberry, bacon and lilac-driven wine with a great savory quality and wonderful length. Our 2020 Syrah is medium-bodied and has a beautiful purple colored rim with an opaque core. Bright, juicy acidity and moderate alcohol carry the flavors and aroma on and on. This wine will be awesome with roast chicken, steaks and chops, mushrooms and grains and anything from the Pig! While quite youthful now, our 2020 Syrah will continue to develop in the bottle for at least five years. This is a special, small production wine at just 398 cases so don't wait! 12 bottle max per customer.

YUMMY...We have re-kindled our love affair with Cabernet Franc and have begun to consistently craft this grape into delicious refreshing and reflective red wines. To arrive here has been a long time coming and we are quite excited. Cabernet Franc is a red grape very well suited to our Long Island terroir. We have made delicious, gulp-able Rosati out of it for years and are jazzed about occasionally offering this grape as a red wine with all the wonders that brings to the table, our glasses and our souls. Our 2019 Cabernet Franc is a treble clef, alive, high-toned, bell-ringing and happy wine! Beautiful, melodic aromas and flavors of bright red fruit, raspberries, strawberries, cherries, currants and purple flowers coupled with a very faint sprinkle of herbs, silky textures and a wonderful lightness of being make this wine irresistible. Comprised of 100% Cabernet Franc from the North Fork this wine was hand-harvested, de-stemmed, crushed by foot and punched down by hand. The wine was fermented wild/ambiently and spent 8 months primarily in stainless steel tanks along with some older oak barrels. Our 2019 Cabernet Franc was handled minimally and bottled on June 26th, 2020. This wine will pair fabulously with charcuterie, light meat dishes, grilled fish and vegetables, pastas, wood-fired pizzas and most anything coming from a pig! This wine is very easy to drink immediately...however it will continue to evolve in the bottle for the next five years at least, so grab some extra, taste the evolution and be a part of the Cab Franc revolution! 588 cases produced.

At the end of May 2020 amidst quarantine we had an idea and acted quickly to bring it to life. We created HEART/Artists Series 2019 White Wine to celebrate our Winery, our Community and our Earth. We wanted to create something special in the bottle and send Love and Heart out into our world. We wanted to make a new Channing Daughters wine, taking advantage of the wonderful raw materials we had in the cellar. A wine that over-delivered Deliciousness and Joy and celebrates our Winery and our Community!

After blending the first wine, we began brainstorming about the name and label and all that seemed appropriate was "Heart". The idea, the word, the image, the love, the organ, the metaphor, the abstraction. We imagined a series of labels inspired by Heart and Channing Daughters Winery. We wanted 12 different labels of Love and Heart to adorn the wine and fill the case. We wanted local artists, deeply connected to us and the winery. So, we asked a dozen stellar humans/local artists to create special artwork for this wine inspired by "Heart". We couldn't be more thrilled with what they all created and with the Joy and Beauty engendered by this collaboration with our community and friends.

The wine was received wonderfully and left us wanting to do this one more time as we always want to send more Heart out into the world. But this time we created a wine from the fruit of the 2020 vintage that we grew and harvested during our shutdown. We wanted it to be equally special and of course different so this time it is a dynamic, delicious red wine. And we were lucky enough to collaborate with a whole new crew of incredible Artists/Humans who are connected to our community and winery. Once again this has been an incredible journey to deliciousness and we are so excited to share our new 2020 Heart / Artists series Red wine with you. We hope it brings the same joy and deliciousness and love and heart into your world and your home. ❤

Our 2020 Heart / Artist series Red wine is a symphonic red blend that combines the best of five grape varieties. This is made from 48% Merlot, 22% Dornfelder, 11% Refosco, 10% Syrah and 9% Petit Verdot. You can imagine the wine as a dynamic red blend bolstered by aromatic bursts of exotic red-fruited Refosco, fleshed out by briary dark Dornfelder berries, with added verve, freshness and geometry provided by the Petit Verdot and Syrah all balanced together by plump, satisfying, enveloping ripe Merlot. This is a complex and unique red wine full of deliciousness and life. The texture is plump and beguiling with cleansing acidity, moderate alcohol and a long finish. The aromas and flavors are ripe, deep, savory, pleasure-filled and range in fruit character from red to blue to black fruit and berries. The texture is silken, giving and it can be hard to put the glass down. There is a generosity coupled with raciness in this dry red wine that is quite satisfying and keeps one coming back for more.

All the fruit was hand-harvested, de-stemmed and fermented ambiently/wild in small bins. Punched down by hand and shovel until fermentation was complete then raised in stainless steel and older/neutral oak barrels for eight months before bottling on May 21st, 2021.

Our 2020 Heart / Artists series Red wine is as comfortable at a summer picnic luncheon as it is in the winter on a white tablecloth with fancy glassware. Super versatile with foods, people and places this wine will pair beautifully with the astounding bounty of our farms, fields, bays and ocean that offer up a plethora of vegetables, meats, poultry, fish, shellfish, cheeses, fruits and more. Simply prepared summer and autumn veggies. Striped Bass, smoked bluefish, black sea bass, blackfish, scallops, baked clams, pastas, poultry, pork, beef and veal preps are all going to work. In fact this wine pairs wonderfully with anything anyone makes with "Heart"! Our 2020 Heart red wine will easily match with foods that range from lightly poached or sautéed all the way through grilled and braised, so have fun and experiment with this one, you will love the possibilities it presents.

Here is a small production wine made from a single varietal that we have released only three times before. Let us introduce you to this delicious bottling of our 2018 Dornfelder. Dornfelder is a black grape variety originating from a German crossing of two vinifera grapes called Helfensteiner and Heroldrebe. Dornfelder has great pigmentation, is juicy and aromatic. We have blended in a bit of Pinot Noir (2%) and Zweigelt (3%) for elegance, acid balance, as well as flavor and aromatic complexity. This wine was raised in older oak barrels for eight months and bottled on June 4th, 2019. All the fruit was hand-harvested, de-stemmed, crushed by foot, punched down by hand and fermented with wild/ambient yeast. This wine possesses savory cranberry and red raspberry fruit, some brambly character and strawberry notes reminiscent of cru Beaujolais or old-world pinot noir. Our 2018 Dornfelder is super youthful and will benefit from decanting (if drinking now) or better yet another 4-5 years of time in the bottle that will allow for the tannins and acid to mellow and silken. This wine has crisp, juicy acidity so match with rich, fatty fish dishes, braised meat dishes, roast pork and wild boar pappardelle in addition to smoked bluefish, wild salmon, lobster thermidor and surf and turf! 188 cases produced. 2 bottle max per customer.

The last time we made MUDD was 2008, so we are excited to bring back this gem of a wine! We believe the MUDD we are sending you is a scrumptious reflection of the delicious 2017 vintage. Not only is our 2017 MUDD delicious now...it is just a baby, and will improve in the bottle for at least six to eight years and drink well for a solid dozen! Our 2017 MUDD is composed of 37% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 22% Petit Verdot, 10% Syrah, 2% Teroldego, 1% Blaufranksich. All the fruit was hand harvested and de-stemmed into small one-ton bins where it was stomped on by foot and punched down by hand. After primary (wild/ambient) fermentation the wine was racked to a variety of barrels, hogsheads and puncheons where it spent eighteen months before being bottled on June 8th 2019. Our 2017 MUDD is dry, medium-bodied, has moderate alcohol, wonderful aromas, balanced acidity, soft, ripe tannins and wonderfully persistent length. The wine is complex and displays finesse and elegance in its captivating texture and expression of fruit and wood. There are aromas and flavors of black plums, raspberries, cherries, brown spice, forest floor, black raspberries, black peppercorns and cocoa. Pair this graceful, satisfying red wine with a pork roast, a juicy rib-eye or a succulent rack of lamb. In addition, a mushroom risotto, braised pancetta wrapped monkfish or a cozy fire and a hunk of aged alpine cheese would do the trick quite nicely. This wine celebrates our growing partnership with Steve Mudd and the Mudd family as well as the dirt in which we grow our wine. The label is actually a drawing of our soil with the various contents noted at different depths. It's pretty cool, check it out! Cheers. Only 208 cases were bottled. 3 bottle max per customer.

The last time we made a red wine from Cabernet Franc was 2001! So this has been a long time coming and we are quite excited. Cabernet Franc is a red grape very well suited to our Long Island terroir. We have made delicious, gulpable rosati out of it for years and are jazzed about occasionally offering this grape as a red wine with all the wonders that it brings to the table and to our glasses. Our 2015 Cabernet Franc is a treble clef, alive, high-toned and happy wine! Beautiful, melodic aromas and flavors of bright red fruit, raspberries, cherries, plums and purple flowers coupled with a faint herbal note, silky textures and a wonderful lightness of being make this wine irresistible. Comprised of 93% Cabernet Franc and 7% Merlot from the North Fork this wine was hand-harvested, de-stemmed, crushed by foot and punched down by hand and shovel. The wine was fermented wild/ambiently and spent 8 months in older oak. Our 2015 Cabernet Franc was handled minimally and bottled by gravity on June 17th, 2016. This wine will pair fabulously with charcuterie, light meat dishes, grilled fish and vegetables, pastas, wood-fired pizzas and most anything coming from a pig! This wine is hard not to drink immediately however it will continue to evolve in the bottle for the next five years or so. 113 cases produced. 5 bottle max per customer.

What can we say…Long Island Refosco has arrived! Since 2009 we have fashioned a beautiful rosato from our Refosco grapes, but in 2012 a section of the vineyard produced grapes that seemed to yearn to be made into red wine. It wasn’t a lot. Just enough to fill up two old hogsheads. But we did it and we are quite excited, and now you can taste the results. Refosco is a black grape variety native to Friuli-Venezia Giulia. We are the only winery on the East End growing and producing this variety. Our version smells and tastes of red and black stone fruits, dark berries, minerals, spice and flowers. As usual all the fruit was hand-picked, stomped on by foot, fermented in small one ton bins, punched down by hand and raised in older oak for thirteen months. The 2012 Refosco was bottled without fining or filtration on November 22nd, 2013. This is a tasty, juicy, exciting, invigorating red wine. Enjoy with roasts, braises, all things porcine, mushrooms, grains, duck and richly sauced fatty fish dishes. Only 58 cases were produced so do not wait…it will not last.

We are thrilled to have this exciting wine (for only the fourth time in CDW history) to release to our Wine Club. Our 2017 Muscat de Boom is a sweet, fortified, wildly aromatic wine! This wine is made in a style often called Vin doux Naturel (in the south of France). So, it's made from Muscat Ottonel grapes...a wild fermentation is started on the skins and allowed to go for a few days...then the wine was fortified with neutral grape spirits to arrest the fermentation and leave behind the residual sugar. We are left with a luscious, aromatic, textured and beguiling wine. Strong (18.2% alcohol), sweet (113 grams residual sugar...that's more than 10% sugar) and aromatic, this wine will light fireworks on your palate and send sensory signals to every part of your being! Aromas of Muscat grapes, dried apricots, caramelized peaches, baked apples, nuts, pineapple curd and golden raisins rise from the glass and the flavors tickle your taste buds. Crazy delicious just sipped by itself, our Muscat de Boom will also be great with classic sweet wine combos like blue cheese and foie gras preparations. Also great with nuts and fruit-based desserts (especially containing apples, pears, apricots and peaches). Honestly, it's an elixir that will just make you smile. Chill lightly, maybe turn on some George Clinton and enjoy! There is a tiny amount, only 137 cases produced.

Pazzo is delicious. Pazzo is an island wine. Pazzo is a fortified and madeirized wine made from the Merlot grape, the first and only on Long Island and maybe the world! This is the second bottling of our 2004 Pazzo. The first version spent five years in barrel, this version, the second coming (bottling), spent a little over seven years in barrel. For a long time we had wanted to create a wine to pair with all the activities that come after the entrée; whether that is a cheese course, or nuts or a dessert featuring chocolate or fruit or just a tipple sitting by a warm fire. Now we have just the right drink and it only took us five years to make the first bottling and 8 years to make the second! It all started with merlot fruit from the 2004 vintage that was hand-harvested and crushed by foot in small one ton bins as usual. The wine was fermented dry, then fortified to 18% alcohol (with neutral grape spirits), put in barrels and placed outside to madeirize for five years. This means the wine was subjected to the elements, the heat of the summer and the cold of the winter. The wine evaporates and is not topped up. The wine cooks, the wine oxidizes. Something magical begins to happen to the aromas and flavors, just like what happened to the Madeiras in the ballasts of ships making a trip across the equator a hundred and fifty years ago. Our Pazzo is filled with aromas and flavors of figs, caramel, orange peel, Christmas spices, raspberry liqueur, nuts and dried fruit. So when we finally decided to bottle some of this elixir, we took half of the wine (the other half remained outside for another couple years and that is this new release!) and when the merlot arrived for our rosato we pressed and settled the juice and added a bit of that sweet merlot juice to give our Pazzo just a pinch of sweetness. This was the final touch to bring the wine into that pleasure place of great balance, length and complexity. Pazzo means “mad” or “crazy” in Italian and this is our play and nod to the island of Madeira, and her wines, and the fact we are a little nuts to make a wine like this…though when you taste it you will be as happy as we are that we did. This second bottling is remarkably similar to the first with a bit more richness from continued evaporation (the Angel’s share) and a bit more depth and complexity. 228 cases (of half bottles) produced.

We have long wanted to make a Sparkling Grape Cider. Our grapes, local apples...Co-Fermented! Thrilled with the opportunity to work with tasty local apples grown and crushed right down the road at The Halsey Farm and The Milk Pail, we created this delicious sparkling grape cider made in a Method Ancestral style, also known as a Petillant Naturel. This is a super delicious and fun wine. It is created from 32% Chardonnay juice and 68% apple cider fermented together wild. We wanted to call it "c/Hard Cider" a play on hard cider made with Chardonnay, but the federal regulatory bureau would not have it! We cherished the chance to work with the Halsey family and their incredible apples and cider. Jenn Halsey said there are many varieties of apples in the cider we received including; Red Delicious, Fuji, Mutsu, RubyFrost, Jonagold, Winesap, Granny Smith, Gala, Honeycrisp, Macoun, Snapdragon and likely a few others. There are dynamic aromas and flavors reminiscent of both wine and cider and the interplay back and forth between the two is a delight to experience. The aromas and flavors and fun just seem to be heightened by the bubbles. The wine possesses moderate alcohol at only 9.3% and delicious lively acidity that keeps you coming back for more. There is a fair amount of carbonation in this version so make sure the bottle is very well chilled upright and be ready to pour when opening! We only made 71 cases of this delicious sparkler in 2020. While regulations do not allow us to put a vintage on this wine for some reason all the fruit, both grape and apples, is from the 2020 vintage. We think this wine is pretty special and there are not too many examples of this magical combination of grape juice and apple cider. So don't miss the experience and delicious expression of our East End told through two farms and two distinctly different fruits alchemized together for this awesome wine!We have long wanted to make a Sparkling Grape Cider.

At the end of May 2020 amidst quarantine we had an idea and acted quickly to bring it to life. The wine was a great success and we decided to produce it one more time in the 2021 vintage as we just didn’t want to let it go!

We created HEART to celebrate our Winery, our Community and our Earth. We wanted to create something special in the bottle and send Love and Heart out into our world.

We wanted to make a new Channing Daughters wine, taking advantage of the wonderful raw materials we had in the cellar and produce a new symphonic white blend! A response to our current situation. A wine that over-delivers Deliciousness and Joy and celebrates our Winery and our Community that is helping our small business and winery and vineyard survive during these crazy days.

After blending the wine, we began brainstorming about the name and label and all that seemed appropriate was "Heart". The idea, the word, the image, the love, the organ, the metaphor, the abstraction. We imagined a series of labels inspired by Heart and Channing Daughters Winery. We wanted 12 different labels of Love and Heart to adorn the wine and fill the case. We wanted local artists, deeply connected to us and the winery. So, we asked a dozen stellar humans/local artists to create special artwork for this wine inspired by "Heart". We couldn't be more thrilled with what they all came up with and with this Gem of a wine and the Joy and Beauty created by this collaboration with our community and friends. We hope it brings the same joy and deliciousness and love and heart into your world and home. ❤

Our 2021 Heart is a symphonic white blend that combines the best of seven grape varieties. This is made from 29% Muscat Ottonel, 21% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Grigio, 18% Tocai Friulano, 6% Gewurztraminer, 5% Pinot Bianco and 1 % Malvasia. Our 2021 Heart is an exotic, symphonic white blend bolstered by aromatic bursts of Muscat aromas, fleshed out by the Pinots and Chard, with added verve, freshness and geometry provided by the Gewurz and Tocai Friulano. This is a complex and unique white wine full of deliciousness and life. The texture is plump and beguiling with cleansing acidity and a long finish. The aromas and flavors are piercing and range in fruit character from citrus to tree to stone to tropical. The Muscat really promotes those exotic, tropical, alluring aromatics. It can be hard to put the glass down. There is a generosity coupled with raciness in this dry wine that is quite satisfying and keeps one coming back for more. The Chardonnay and the Muscat/Pinot Grigio/Pinot Bianco were all fermented ambiently/wild in stainless steel. The Gewurztraminer was also fermented wild/ambiently on its skins and the Tocai was inoculated and fermented separately in stainless steel. After eight months on their lees the wines were blended together into a stainless steel tank. Our 2021 Heart was bottled on June 9th, 2022. This wine will pair beautifully with so many foods from the bounty of our bays and ocean that offer up a plethora of fish and shellfish to fresh local goat and cow's milk cheeses. Simply prepared summer and autumn veggies. Pastas, poultry and light pork and veal preps. Our Heart would easily stand up to some lightly spiced fare as well, so have fun and experiment with this one, you will love it!

$20 bottle full-retail, that's a crazy price we know, but we want you to take advantage and be able to drink more great wine for less. We produced 1088 cases of this wine and we encourage you all to buy it by the case. We labeled the wine so it would allow us to have all 12 different artists' work in each limited-edition box.
