Davis Valley Corot noir™

Davis Valley Corot noir™ Wine Details
Price:

Description: Davis Valley Winery is one of the first wineries to produce Corot noir wine. This distinctive red wine has a deep red color and attractive berry and cherry fruit aromas. It pairs well with beef, game and other hearty dishes but will not overpower pork and lamb. Corot noir is a newly recognized wine variety, but the 2005 Corot noir wine in our bottles was 35 years in the making! The vines are 1970 hybrid cross between Seyve Villard and Steuben. The wine made from these grapes will surely come into vogue over the next few years. But you can be among the first to sample it at our winery!

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."
