Red Chardonnay
Saw this story today on Wine Spectator, I wouldn't mind trying a bottle of this. I am always up for interesting wine, as long as it tastes good. I actually don't even know there are wineries in North Carolina.
Wine Spectator - Unfiltered
A winery in North Carolina has taken the idea of mixing white wine with red wine a bit literally. Instead of drinking the two over the course of a night, Green Creek winery in Polk County is producing a red Chardonnay. "It's very red," said winery cofounder Alvin Pack of his inaugural 2006 Chardonnay Rosso. "And it's very fruity." Green Creek, a newcomer to the wine world, was looking to come up with a "different kind of wine," not unlike a white Zinfandel or white Merlot … only in reverse. In the case of Chardonnay Rosso, the Chardonnay juice gets tinted with the skins of Chamborcin, a hybrid red grape. Pack chose Chamborcin after "a lot of research" and said the grape, when made as a single-varietal red, is "heavily colored." Therefore, a little of the skins go a long way for changing the color of the Chardonnay. While the Chamborcin influence is muted, it's definitely still there, Pack said of the pioneering 2006 vintage, which has a few more weeks to rest in Hungarian oak before it's bottled. However, the wine is already proving popular with some visitors to the winery, who are buying futures at around $22 a bottle, to Pack's surprise. Ours, too.
