Noiret

Noiret Wine Details
Price:

Description: Using the rare Noiret grape, our winemaker allows its parentage to shine through with typical spicy black pepper and bright fruit aromas. Noiret is a natural pairing for foods, such as roasted vegetables, salmon, duck or a succulent Kansas steak. Fantastic on a cool fall afternoon or light spring evening, Noiret is truly a wine that can be enjoyed at any time of the year. Though a bottle is a great gift for friends, we know they’d appreciate it more if you enjoy it with them.

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."
