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.

Mosaico is an exotic field blend from a complanted block in the Sylvanus Vineyard on our home farm in Bridgehampton. The 2022 vintage is composed of 32% Pinot Grigio, 29% Chardonnay, 14% Sauvignon Blanc, 10% Muscat Ottonel, 8% Gewürztraminer, and 7% Tocai Friulano. All varieties were grown, harvested, pressed, and wild-fermented together in stainless steel. This is a wild beast of a wine—in the best way—bursting with orange oil, tangerine zest, and mouth-puckering acidity. There’s a focused squeeze of lime, lemon, and grapefruit on the palate that makes it incredibly vivid and energetic. An absolute must with food.

Channing Daughters’ 2022 Mosaico is a co-fermented blend of 32% Pinot Gris, 29% Chardonnay, 14% Sauvignon Blanc, 10% Muscat Ottonel, 8% Gewürztraminer and 7% Tocai Friulano. About a sixth of the volume received up to three weeks of skin contact, but this is a white wine, not orange by any stretch of the definition. Charming floral notes mark the nose, joined by orange zest, marmalade and hints of dried spice. In the mouth, this medium to full-bodied wine is plump and silky textured, with ample length on the finish.
