1996 Wines Available:
Red Wines -
Vin di Pasqualina
is a light, fruity red wine made from the Chambourcin grape in
the style of nouveau Beaujolais. The grapes are not crushed prior
to fermentation, but are allowed to ferment whole (carbonic maceration).
Without the skin contact of traditional red wine fermentation
in which the grapes are crushed, the color is delicate, and the
wine is light, fruity and designed to drink young.
The second red wine,
Chambourcin was made using the traditional method of crushing
the grapes prior to fermentation. This allows for much greater
contact between the skin and the juice, resulting in a fuller
bodied wine with more color and tannin. The juice was pressed
off of the skins before the completion of fermentation, while
there was still some sweetness in the must, to produce a dry wine
with a beautiful appearance and with enough fruit to balance acidity
in the absence of extended barrel aging. This is a more serious
table wine and pairs well with simple meat dishes (i.e. veal,
roast beef) or light pasta's.
Chambourcin Riserva
is our third red wine. After crushing and completion of fermentation,
the grapes were allowed to remain in contact with the fermented
juice for an additional two weeks, giving tremendous color and
body to the wine. This wine was put into new moderately charred
oak barrels as soon as possible and left in as long as possible.
We maintained a little sweetness to balance the acidity and tannins
from the skins and from the oak. The finished wine is very full
bodied and has a distinct "Port" nose and flavor. A
fine after dinner wine that complements fruit, nuts, cheese, and
even a piece of chocolate.
White Wines -
Dulcinea
wine is made with the Seyval grape. As is typical with white wines,
the grapes are pressed soon after crushing, limiting contact with
the skin. Our white wines are very crisp, citrus like and acidic.
With Dulcinea we decided to leave a little sweetness to balance
the acidity.
Seyval is
the bone dry version of Dulcinea. Very dry and crisp, we are always
reminded of grapefruit and citrus fruits. This wine will stand
up to the spiciest Buffalo Wings.
