Palate
A sparkling and sweet wine with traditional tart Catawba flavors.
Winemaking
Catawba grapes and their wines have a very rich history in America. This is thanks to the many years of effort by Nicolas Longworth, a self-made millionaire, who settled as a young man in Cincinnati, the “Queen of the West” in the early 1800s. He had vineyards along the shores of the Ohio River and made Catawba wine and also a secondary fermentation/methode champenoise Sparkling Catawba, which became his claim to fame by the mid-1800s. He made and sold the original first AMERICAN sparkling wine/champagne throughout the US and even in Europe.
