Noiret

Noiret Wine Details
Price:

Description: Dry full bodied red with notes of black pepper and mint with fine ripe tannins. Aged 10 months in American oak barrels.

Varietal Definition
Noiret:
Noiret is the result of a cross between hybrids NY65.0467.08 and Steuben in 1973. It ripens mid-season, and according to Reisch, its wines "are free of the hybrid aromas typical of many other red hybrid grapes. The distinctive red wine is richly colored and has notes of green and black pepper, with raspberry and mint aromas, and a fine tannin structure."
