Isabella Wine Details

Description: Full bodied with a clean finish. Serve Chilled or Room Temp.

Varietal Definition
Isabella:
French-american hybrid grape grown on limited acreages in New York state. Also still found in colder regions of eastern Europe. Derived from a native vitis labrusca grape of N. America and an unknown vinifera and probably created by random pollination as a result of the 18th century attempts to establish European vines in the U.S. Rapidly being removed and replaced by varieties that lack the obtrusive "foxy" taste and flavor of this grape.
