Delaware is a very old American Hybrid pink-skinned, white wine variety. Delaware was quite popular from the mid 1800's on. In 1905, in the great book "The Grapes of New York", it was written "Delaware is the American grape par excellence...for there is no variety of vitis vinifera more richly or more delicately flavored or with more agreeable aroma than the Delaware." Our Delaware is made in the Methode Ancestral style and bottled at the end of its fermentation before it is complete, trapping the carbon dioxide in the bottle resulting in a lightly sparkling or Petillant wine. This delicious bottle of wine is lightly sparkling, dry, has juicy acidity and moderate barely 10% alcohol. The flavors are delicate and filigreed. There is a chalkiness and fine mineral, citrus fruit and green apple character along with just a touch of the "grapey" aroma telltale of these varieties. The wine is refreshing, inviting and scrumptious. Pair this sparkler with the raw bar, fresh goat and sheep milk cheeses, light vegetable dishes, fluke, Black Sea bass, trigger fish especially with fruit and vegetable slaws...would even be great with a pork chop and mostarda.
