Description:
The highly aromatic Native American grape varieties, Niagara and Catawba, cause the intense fresh-grape flavor to explode on your tongue like fireworks on the Fourth of July. Easily the most refreshing of the white wines, it makes you think of the most fun thing you've ever done! Savor it chilled with a light meal on the patio with someone special.

Varietal Definition
Niagara:
A native American grape varietal, the Niagara is often referred to as the "white Concord." Widely grown in New York, it is a popular table wine, vinified in a slightly sweet style, though the best producers tend to minimize its inherent foxy (a unique aroma/flavor profile variously described as wild and musky) qualities.

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.
