St. James Winery Velvet Red (75cl, 10.5%)

St. James Winery Velvet Red is a sweet red wine made from 100% Concord grapes, bottled at 10.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It comes from the Ozark Highlands AVA in Missouri, where grape-growing roots trace back to Italian immigrants who settled the area in the late 1800s. The wine carries 12.1% residual sugar and is noted for a pronounced, aromatic grape profile. It is recommended served chilled, around 55-60°F, and can also be used in sangria, spritzers or mulled wine. The nose shows ripe, freshly picked Concord grapes with intense aromatic sweetness. The palate is soft and generously sweet, turning mouth-filling and juicy with a velvety texture. The finish is medium in length with a smooth, plush fade and lingering grape and berry notes.
