Chambourcin

Chambourcin Reserve Wine Details
Price: $16.00 per bottle

Description: Gold Medal Winner at 2008 PA Farm Show! Twenty months in primarily Hungarian oak differentiate this 2005 reserve vintage from our regular bottling. Selected from low yielding lots of Chambourcin, we produced this distinctive deep color, intense aromas combined with an intense mouthfeel. The nose shows toasty oak, vanilla, and black fruits complete with a long finish. This wine is worth cellaring, too!

Varietal Definition
Chambourcin:
A french-american hybrid used to make red wines with fruity flavors and some herbaceousness. Grown in the cooler regions of Eastern U.S. and Canada. Decreasing acreages also found in Europe; due to stringent European Union rules these varieties cannot be blended with traditional varieties.
