American Wild

American Wild Wine Details
Price: $9.99 per bottle

Description: One of two grape wines that we offer. A nice blend of American Concord Grapes and a local variety of Wild Grapes. An excellent wine to serve to friends.

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.
