Catawba Rosè

Catawba Rosè Wine Details
Price:

Description: A rosè is a wine made from red grapes processed in the style of a white wine. The result is a graceful light whine that can be enjoyed either at room temperature or chilled. Catawba is a sweet red wine that is refreshingly crisp and fruity

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.
