Sip Channé: A Transformative Journey into the World of Rosé
In a sea of pink wines, one woman dared to be different. Kavita Channe, the founder of Sip Channé, wasn’t initially drawn to the trend of rosé that seemed to be taking over the United States. But everything changed when she embarked on a life-changing trip to Provence in 2016.
It was in the heart of Provence, amidst the enchanting lavender fields of Gordes and the breathtaking coastal landscapes of the French Riviera, that Kavita discovered the true beauty of rosé. She tasted what she describes as “some of the most exquisite wines of her life” and instantly fell in love with their charm and elegance.
However, upon returning to the states, Kavita was disappointed by the lackluster selection of rosés available. She longed for the essence of that transformative experience she had in Provence but couldn’t find it anywhere. And so, she made a decision – she would create her own exceptional wine under her own label, Sip Channé.
With a burning passion for rosé, Kavita embarked on a second journey to Provence, this time with a different purpose. She met with over 100 winemakers, seeking out the best of the best. The result? Sip Channé – a truly unique and captivating rosé.
The signature Channé Rosé is a blend of classic French grapes, including Grenache, Cinsault, and Mourvèdre. Kavita carefully selected these varietals to create a dry and elegant rosé, with subtle hints of fruit that can be enjoyed sip after sip. The vines are aged between 40 and 60 years old, grown across clay limestone soil, which adds depth and flavor to the wine. And the best part? There are no added sugar, no additives, and low sulfites, making it a pure and authentic experience.
But Sip Channé is not just about the wine itself. It’s about supporting talented family farmers who have dedicated their lives to making exceptional wines. By choosing Sip Channé, you are not only indulging in a delightful rosé but also supporting boutique vineyards in France. It’s a win-win situation.
We had the opportunity to chat with Kavita about what sets her rosé apart from the competition and what she enjoys pairing with her wines. Her enthusiasm and passion were contagious. She shared that she finds joy in curating a diverse culinary experience with rosé, pairing it with a variety of appetizers and entrees. From grilled octopus to fattoush salad to beautifully grilled lamb chops, the possibilities are endless.
And it doesn’t stop there. Kavita also spoke about the newly launched Channé Blanc, a wine that combines the best of White Bordeaux and Chablis. Grown on the hills just outside of St. Tropez on clay limestone soil, this blend boasts fresh aromas of floral, quince, lemon, apricot, and acacia flowers. It’s a smooth, dry, and luminous experience that pairs perfectly with seafood, fish, and sushi. But surprisingly, it doesn’t stop there. Channé Blanc has a versatility that goes beyond the sea, making it a wonderful addition to any meal.
Sip Channé is more than just a wine label. It’s a celebration of the beauty and artistry of rosé. It’s a tribute to the extraordinary wines of Provence and the passionate winemakers who bring them to life. And most importantly, it’s a chance for wine lovers around the world to experience the magic that inspired Kavita Channe and drove her to create something truly special.
So, the next time you’re in search of a remarkable rosé, turn to Sip Channé. Indulge in the charm and elegance of their signature Channé Rosé or explore the fresh and vibrant flavors of Channé Blanc. And remember, with every sip, you’re supporting a world of talent and passion, making your wine experience all the more meaningful.
