Description:
On the night of December 6th, temperatures plunged to 11 degrees. At 2:00 a.m., we began hand-harvesting frozen concord grapes, and by dawn we had pressed out 65 gallons of Concord juice from the rock hard berries. The Harvest Brix were 35.4 degrees and the wine is finished to 13.2 Brix. The wine is a concentrated nectar, very sweet, with intense grape and floral aromatics.

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.
