Valley Mist

Valley Mist Wine Details
Price:

Description: This blend of Sabrevois and Landot Noir grapes brings a fruity nose with flavors of pomegranate and nectarine.

Varietal Definition
Sabrevois:
Sabrevois yields wines with good fruit and deep colour, and, if fully ripened, be quite aromatic in character. Usually grown in Canada. It responds well to oak treatments, and would be quite useful served with foods made with tomatoes. Makes a highly aromatic rose if pressed very early. Dry red varietal sabrevois should age well and may require two years in bottle to round off the rough edges. Probably best as part of a blend with other red hybrid varieties known for higher sugars (say maybe Frontenac or Landot Noir).
Landot:
French-american hybrid grape used for making fruity red wine of mild intensity with usual grapey labrusca nuance found in its parent grapes. Mostly produced in the Eastern U.S.
