Wine Tasting - Chateau Elan Duncan Creek


 Name: Chateau Elan Duncan Creek Georgia Muscadine Wine

Variety: 100% White Muscadine grapes

Region: Georgia 

Country: USA

Year: 2020

Price: $8.99

Winery Review: "A light bodied, sweet and crisp wine with notes of fresh grapes, pineapple, mango and apricot with an accent of lemongrass and a nutty finish. This is a classic Georgia Muscadine Wine." (Total wine review 2020)

Wine Folly: "Muscadine (Vitis Rotundifolia) is a North American grape species that's naturally high is polyphenols (antioxidants). Wines are exceptionally challenging to make well, given that so few are doing it. Sweeter renditions of this grape would be awesome alongside a majorly flavorful dessert such as trifle, with fruit, custard and brandy." (could not find grape variety in E-book so used Muscadine | Wine Folly online)

Personal Review: This was probably the most fruity wine that I have tasted so far with some slight tannic components. When I first tasted this wine I got a banana, pineapple, and apple flavor, with hints of cranberry. I feel like this wine had a very balanced medium body, medium tannins and medium acidity. I really enjoyed the different fruit flavor with every taste. It had a nice finish that didn't make your face squinch up. Rate - 9/10
