Ten more days left\u00a0in our September wine month challenge! \u00a0Today we took a slightly different approach to our wine. \u00a0Usually we pair our wines with dinner and go from there. \u00a0However, we will be eating out this evening to celebrate a friend’s birthday and we were unsure if the restaurant offers North Carolina Wines. \u00a0To make sure we have our wine of the day covered, we decided to have a small glass of the Carolina Heritage Blueberry Wine from Carolina Heritage Vineyards<\/a> to help pass the afternoon. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Carolina Heritage is a small vineyard in the Yadkin Valley growing primarily American and Hybrid grapes. \u00a0Since these grapes are more disease resistant, it allows them to take a natural approach to growing their grapes. \u00a0The wines are labeled as organic and aren’t chemically treated. \u00a0In addition to grapes, they also grow blueberries. \u00a0Often when you think of blueberry wine, you might think of it as\u00a0a sweet dessert wine that is thick and syrupy. \u00a0Carolina Heritage takes a different approach to their blueberry wine. \u00a0The wine is made 100% from blueberries that they pick, crush and ferment into a delicious wine.<\/p>\n

The color of the wine is very much reflective of the blueberry juice that it’s made from. \u00a0It’s almost purple but almost red and crystal clear. \u00a0The nose is light with hints of wood and berries\u00a0laced throughout. \u00a0The initial flavors are slightly tart (ever so slightly in fact) and then it develops into a sweet blueberry flavor. \u00a0The finish is much like a blueberry pie, lingering with berry for a bit and then developing into a jammy undertones. \u00a0Perhaps the best way to describe this wine is “blueberry”. \u00a0It may seem obvious, but this wine is true to the fruit, not too sweet and not too tart, and just delightful. Pick up a bottle of the Carolina Heritage Blueberry Wine for yourself and you’ll be hooked!<\/p>\n
