Concord

Concord Wine Details
Price:

Description: American dessert wine begins with its signature nose and captivates with its classic lambrusco fruity flavors suggesting bright red berries, blackberry and red cherry. This well balanced wine has a pleasing mouth feel and can be enjoyed on all occasions but is especially well suited for after dinner sipping. Pair it with salty cheeses, salads or a light meal and see why it is such a popular American classic.

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.
