Discover the grape variety: Delaware

Simple reds and rosés with a characteristic foxy flavour — clear ruby to pink, soft tannins, moderate acidity and labrusca-signature aromas of wild strawberry, candy, fresh grape and rustic muscat notes. Grown in the north-eastern United States and massively exported to Japan, where it is used for juice, simple wines and table grapes. A hybrid discovered in 1849 in Delaware, Ohio.
