Wine Details
Price:
$9.99 per bottle
Description:
Made from estate grown grapes. This is the most complex of all American grape varieties. While the robust foxy grape aromas are present, another sniff reveals rose petals and citrus zest. The taste is semi-sweet and grapey, but some spicy grapefruit lingers on a crisp finish. We often pair this wine with Thai and Chinese food.

Varietal Definition
Catawba:
This was perhaps the earliest discovered native American grape, growing wild in Ohio and New York valleys, but it has since been surpassed by the Concord as the most widely planted native East Coast grape varietal. It primarily is used to make off-dry or sweet red wines, with a pronounced foxy (a unique aroma/flavor profile variously described as wild and musky) labrusca flavor. A number of producers also utilize this grape to make sparkling wine.
