2021 BIANCO PET NAT

TRY ME IF YOU LOVE: Pet Nat

ABV: 10.0%

GRAPES: Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Friulano

TASTING NOTES: Straw coloured, very lightly sparkling wine that is made from crushing the grapes and putting them straight into bottle. Bianco has a note of white flowers, yeasty bread and red apple skin. The mouthfeel of the wine is apricots, peaches, Turkish delight and a lingering minerality. Only 388 cases were made of this wine.

PAIRS WITH: A light lunch in the sun.

SERVE ME: Chilled, pop in the fridge for a couple of hours

Walter Channing, founder and owner of Channing Daughters, is a keen wood sculptor and his love for nature, textures and form is a big part of the estate’s ethos and style. Together with CEO Larry Perrine and winemaker Christopher Tracy, Channing has created a truly unique project that combines craftsmanship and experimentation in equal measures. Together they’ve been able to harness the potential of Long Island’s terroir to make idiosyncratic wines with a natural soul.

Interesting fact: Channing Daughter’s winery and tasting room are surrounded by Walter’s sculpture garden. His work has been widely shown in prestigious galleries and museums but is best appreciated at ‘home’ while walking the estate’s vineyards and sipping a glass of Channing’s wine.
