Sweet Lady

Sweet Lady Wine Details
Price:

Description: The wine is finished with enough residual sweetness to preserve and enhance the rich flavor of the Catawba grape. The luscious aroma has been captured using a long, cool fermentation. We enjoy it best when sipped in the company of friends or loved ones.

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.
