Chambourcin

Chambourcin Wine Details
Price: $9.99 per bottle

Description: Flavors of red cherries, freshly roasted coffee and bittersweet chocolate complement the silky texture and smooth tanins of this wine. Our winemakers chose small batch fermentation and low intervention winemaking techniques, where less is more, to create this elegant dry red selection.

Varietal Definition
Chambourcin:
A french-american hybrid used to make red wines with fruity flavors and some herbaceousness. Grown in the cooler regions of Eastern U.S. and Canada. Decreasing acreages also found in Europe; due to stringent European Union rules these varieties cannot be blended with traditional varieties.
