Dionysus

Dionysus Wine Details
Price: $25.00 per bottle

Description: Dionysus was the last god to enter Olympus and now sits at the right hand side of Zeus as one of the Twelve Great Ones. In Greek Mythology, Dionysus, the god of wine, was born of fire and nursed by rain, like the hard burning heat that ripens the grapes and the water that keeps the vines alive. From only the finest harvest seasons do we choose to make the Horton Dionysus wine. This Dionysus is made from two Portuguese grapes, Touriga Nacional (77%), Tinta Cao (13%), and a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon (10%). The Touriga Nacional provides the intense layers of fruit while the Tinta Cao adds the floral nose followed by the tannins of Cabernet.
