Red Giant

Red Giant Wine Details
Price:

Description: Just released in December 2009. Vinted with a new varietal, Noirette. Red Giant has wonderful tannin structure and flavors of raspberry and licorice. A wonderful new varietal that is being introduced in the region!

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."
