Mia Rosé

Mia Rosé Wine Details
Price: $10.00 per bottle

Description: Our Mia Rosé is a sweet pink wine produced using Concord, Niagara and Aurore grapes grown on the coast of Lake Erie. The strong bouquet present in this wine is complements of the Niagara grape.

Varietal Definition
Aurore:
French-american hybrid grape widely grown in New York State (U.S.A). Used to produce fruity white wines of mild intensity usually vinified with a dry finish and also good quality sparkling wines. Mainly found in the colder northern temperate regions of North America.
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.
Niagara:
A native American grape varietal, the Niagara is often referred to as the "white Concord." Widely grown in New York, it is a popular table wine, vinified in a slightly sweet style, though the best producers tend to minimize its inherent foxy (a unique aroma/flavor profile variously described as wild and musky) qualities.
