Bacchanal

Bacchanal Wine Details
Price: $14.95 per bottle

Description: Made from a blend of Minnesota grown St. Croix and Marechal Foch - a great balance! A touch of spring like sweetness reveals delicate blackberry and earthy sweet tobacco herbal aromas intertwined with light toasted French oak producing a complex nose and rich soft taste. Serves well with wild game, beef or pork, great with ribs!

Varietal Definition
Marechal Foch:
A french-american hybrid grape, with french Alsace Gamay origins, noted for producing deeply colored and strongly varietal wines considered by some to have a "Burgundian" character. Also known under the name Foch.
St. Croix:
St. Croix is the one red wine variety that Elmer Swenson has released to date. It is similar to his white variety, Kay Gray, in that it is hardy, low acid and disease-resistant.
