Concord

Concord Wine Details
Price:

Description: Though possessing all the qualities that make this wine so desirable - soft tannins and excellent fruit - this is by no means a "shy" style Concord. This sweet red balances the aromas and flavors of ripe cherry, plum and spice. Great addition to barbeque or steaks.

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.
