Keels Creek Winery

Chambourcin

A French-American Hybrid grape strong on it own. This grape variety is full of color and is considered less robust then a Cabernet. At Keels Creek we leave our Chambourcin on the skins a fair amount of time alowing more intensity of color and flavor to emerge. Flavor notes of cherry, blackberry, cassis and a hint of raspberry. We like to pair Chambourcin with pasta and lasagna. Our most favorite pairing is with lamb.
