Tasting 2/27: Duplin Scuppernong Blush

 


Name: Duplin Scuppernong Blush

Variety: Scuppernong

Country/Region of Origin: Rose Hill, North Carolina, USA

Vintage Year: Not Displayed

Price: $8

Review (from Wineaux): "3.5/5. Grapes, watermelon, strawberry. Sweet with balanced acidity, nice fruit on a medium finish. Enjoy with other sweets for dessert."

My Review: We served this wine chilled and did not have it with any food. When I first smelled the wine I was struck by how sweet it smelled. The smells I felt the most were of peaches and cotton candy. When I tasted it I again felt that cotton candy-like sweet taste, and I also tasted some watermelon and peach. The wine was probably one of the sweetest wines I have ever had, and it was not dry at all. It was not acidic to me and I thought it had a crisp and light body. Overall, I really liked the taste of this wine but I probably could never have more than one glass in one sitting because of how sweet it is.
