Description:
This is our best attempt in 2004 to create a dry red wine that has all of what Iowa has to offer. The basis of the wine is hand selected Iowa-Grown Marachel Foch grape. These grapes carefully screened, are whole-berry fermented on the skins and seeds for up to 6 weeksto extract all the flavor that Iowa soils and climate have to offer. The young wine is then placed in oak barrels made of Iowa-grown white oak. After 18 months of aging it is finally bottled with as little manipulation as possible. We think this wine is an example of what the best bold red Iowa wine can. This full-bodied red is sure to cause a stir, bringing Iowa grown grapes and wines to their full potential.
