Description
Here’s something out of the ordinary that will appeal to the Canadian in all of us. A wine made from tart red cranberries and sweet smooth maple syrup, blended together in this unique combination to make the aptly named Red Maple. It should come as no surprise that your first whiff is cranberries, then you’ll pick up an undercurrent of cinnamon, nutmeg and finally, apple cider. The taste doesn’t stray far from the nose: cranberry apple juice with a drop of cinnamon maple syrup. But it’s not “syrupy-sweet” … in fact the panel thought it amazingly less sweet than what they expected. It starts off cranberry-tart, turns apple cider-sweet in the mid-palate and ends with some cinnamon spiciness. Very cool … delicious as a dessert all on it’s own.
