Chambourcin

Chambourcin Wine Details
Price:

Description: We know you’ll enjoy this dessert wine, made with 100% Chambourcin grapes and aged in French oak for six months. Ruby red and intense, this wine is sweet, with overtones of cherry and chocolate. This wine is a traditional dessert red made in the port-style and infused with apple brandy, wonderful alongside cheese and walnuts after dinner and, of course, with chocolate.

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.
