Cynthiana

Cynthiana Wine Details
Price: $25.00 per bottle

Description: Cynthiana, also know as Norton, is the Missouri state grape. We take our Cynthiana to the very edge of the envelope. While many vineyards harvest Cynthiana in mid September. We pick ours in mid to late October. This is accomplished be placing 17ft wide plastic netting over each row in order to protect the grapes from birds. Accordingly, our Cynthiana is picked extremely ripe, producing a wine which we describe as our "excess wine". Excess color, excess flavor, excess tannin, excess alcohol. You won't find a bigger dry red wine than our Cynthiana. 13.8% alcohol
