Sunset Red

Sunset Red Wine Details
Price: $10.00 per bottle

Description: A drier version of our Sweet Red which allows the more complex flavors of the Concord grape to shine through. Sunset Red is perfect for a table wine and for anyone that enjoys the classic grape flavor of Concord but not the sweetness typically found in a Concord wine. Come and explore what the Vitis labrusca really has to offer....we think you will be surprised.

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.
