Diamond

Diamond Wine Details
Price: $8.99 per bottle

Description: Made from native American diamond grapes, this off-dry white wine tastes like fruit picked fresh from the vine and resembles Concord table grapes. Diamond, like its name, is rare and is recognized for the wine’s sweet aromatic quality. Serve with spicy foods or oily fish, such as bluefish or salmon.

Varietal Definition
Diamond:
One of the older varieties. Clean, fruity, delicious wine, best with a sweet finish. A very popular wine. The fresh juice is reminiscent of pineapple.
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.
