HIGHLAND SUNSET

HIGHLAND SUNSET Wine Details
Price: $9.99 per bottle

Description: The Concord grape is the best known and most widely planted Labrusca. Medium sweetness enhances the character of this light bodied, grapy aroma of the Concord grape that we love. Try it with hot, spicy foods or sit back, sip and envision a perfect mountain sunset. Drink chilled.

Varietal Definition
Concord:
This native American grape varietal (of the genus vitis labrusca) is used in making old- fashioned, "rustic" country-style red wines, often displaying what most people think of as a "grape jelly aroma." In fact, the Concord is widely used in the production of jellies and jams. This East Coast varietal produces wines that have been variously described as foxy, meaning they have a unique aroma/flavor profile variously described as wild and musky. Mogen David is perhaps the quintessential Concord wine.
