Carlos is a bronze-colored Muscadine grape variety renowned for its distinctive flavor profile and versatility in winemaking.
Appearance: The wine exhibits a clear, pale golden hue with subtle amber undertones, reflecting its Muscadine heritage.
Aroma: The nose is characterized by pronounced aromas of ripe banana, bruised apple, and hints of lime peel. Some wines may also present subtle notes of honeydew melon or cranberry, depending on the specific style.
Taste: On the palate, Carlos Muscadine wines offer a medium body with medium-plus acidity. Flavors of ripe banana and rubber cement are prominent, accompanied by more subtle notes of lime, peony, and honeysuckle in white wines, or strawberry and cranberry in red wines. The astringency is present towards the middle-back of the taste, felt subtly around the sides of the mouth.
Finish: The finish is medium-long, with lingering notes of saline and pine cone, or rubber cement and sweetish dried fruit.
