Noiret

Noiret Wine Details
Price:

Description: This deep purple, slightly sweet wine is a Noiret blend that is complex, with a hint of pepper and a long finish. Perfect for any red meat, especially with BBQ sauce, this is an easy drinking red wine that is not bold, but more reminiscent of great American Red Zinfandels.

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."
