Description:
This wine is finished to preserve some of the color of this red skinned beauty. A slight amount of residual sweetness has been retained to balance the tannins developed during pressing. Pink Catawba, with its clean blush character, is splendid as a cordial or sipping wine. It lends itself equally well to accompanying today's lighter fare such as salads and it is superb at picnics and barbeques.

Varietal Definition
Catawba:
This was perhaps the earliest discovered native American grape, growing wild in Ohio and New York valleys, but it has since been surpassed by the Concord as the most widely planted native East Coast grape varietal. It primarily is used to make off-dry or sweet red wines, with a pronounced foxy (a unique aroma/flavor profile variously described as wild and musky) labrusca flavor. A number of producers also utilize this grape to make sparkling wine.
