Kittatinny Red

Kittatinny Red Wine Details
Price: $7.99 per bottle

Description: A blend of French hybrids and Concord makes Kittatinny Red a fruity wine, perfect for the not-so-dry wine drinker. We named it for the ridge that runs along the back of our property. The Appalachian Trail runs along the top of it.

Varietal Definition
Concord:
This native American grape varietal (of the genus vitis labrusca) is used in making old- fashioned, "rustic" country-style red wines, often displaying what most people think of as a "grape jelly aroma." In fact, the Concord is widely used in the production of jellies and jams. This East Coast varietal produces wines that have been variously described as foxy, meaning they have a unique aroma/flavor profile variously described as wild and musky. Mogen David is perhaps the quintessential Concord wine.
