Wine Details
Price:
$14.00 per bottle
Description:
Concord is a truly American native grape. Very robust and aromatic, this sweet wine got its start here at Stone Cliff as a special sacramental blend for the St. LaSalle parish in Rickardsville, IA. As its popularity and communion increased, we asked to take the name public. Currently known as Purple Cow it can be described best as Welch's with a kick, enjoy the grape flavors as a dessert wine, served with aged cheese or for sipping. Serve chilled and enjoy.

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.
