Concord

Concord Wine Details
Price:

Description: The Concord grape was developed in 1849 by Epharaim Wales Bull in Concord Massachusetts. Being a table grape species did not stop us to make a sweet refreshing red wine. True to the grape full of juicy flavor and aroma. Pairs well with tarts, poultry and seafood. Serve chilled for summer 45°- 50°F. Cheers!

Varietal Definition
Concord:
This native American grape varietal (of the genus vitis labrusca) is used in making old- fashioned, "rustic" country-style red wines, often displaying what most people think of as a "grape jelly aroma." In fact, the Concord is widely used in the production of jellies and jams. This East Coast varietal produces wines that have been variously described as foxy, meaning they have a unique aroma/flavor profile variously described as wild and musky. Mogen David is perhaps the quintessential Concord wine.
