Noiret

Noiret Wine Details
Price:

Description: Noiret (pronounced “nwahr-ay”), is a distinctive red wine which is richly colored and has notes of green and black pepper along with raspberry, blackberry and hints of mint. A fine tannin structure that is complete from the front of the mouth to the rear. Noiret includes French hybrids Steuben and Chancellor in its parentage. Think steak!!!

Varietal Definition
Noiret:
Noiret is the result of a cross between hybrids NY65.0467.08 and Steuben in 1973. It ripens mid-season, and according to Reisch, its wines "are free of the hybrid aromas typical of many other red hybrid grapes. The distinctive red wine is richly colored and has notes of green and black pepper, with raspberry and mint aromas, and a fine tannin structure."
