Corot Noir

Corot Noir Wine Details
Price:

Description: Corot Noir is our latest red wine created from the Corot Noir grape; a hybrid grape developed at Cornel University. A Pinot Noir style grape that grows well in the cooler climate and shorter growing season of Connecticut, this grape has produced a wine with all the characteristics of a fine, Pinot Noir. Fruit forward, with notes of cherries and berries and big soft tannins, this wine is very approachable.

Varietal Definition
Corot Noir:
Corot noir is the result of a cross between hybrids Seyve Villard 18-307 and Steuben in 1970. It ripens mid-season to late-season, and according to Reisch, its wines "are free of the hybrid aromas typical of many other red hybrid grapes, and can be used for varietal wine production or for blending. The distinctive red wine has a deep red color and attractive berry and cherry fruit aromas."
