Description:
This American grape was considered in the 19th Century in Europe to be superior to the Champagne’s of France or the Rieslings of Germany. We think its peach and strawberry tastes make this a great sweet wine for picnics and casual events, and it is a perfect beginner’s wine for people new to the world of wine. Blended with another American grape, Niagara, we think many will like this all-American experience.

Varietal Definition
Catawba:
This was perhaps the earliest discovered native American grape, growing wild in Ohio and New York valleys, but it has since been surpassed by the Concord as the most widely planted native East Coast grape varietal. It primarily is used to make off-dry or sweet red wines, with a pronounced foxy (a unique aroma/flavor profile variously described as wild and musky) labrusca flavor. A number of producers also utilize this grape to make sparkling wine.
