D2 Wine Details
Price:

Description: DeChaunac grapes grown in our estate vineyards and Dornfleder grapes grown in nearby vineyards in Ripley County combine to make a full bodied and dry red wine. Aged in Amercian Oak, this wine exudes both aromas and flavors of dark fruits and spice.

Varietal Definition
Dornfelder:
Recent vine cross gaining wide popularity in Germany. Creates red wines from grapes that have every important red-wine variety suitable for central Europe in their geneology. Mainly grown in the Rheinhessen and Pfalz regions, it is increasingly available as a bottled varietal with aging potential.
De Chaunac:
An early ripening french-american hybrid grape which gives a fruity, balanced red wine usually possessed of low to mild tannic content. Planted mainly in the cooler regions of the Northeast U.S. and Canada.
