But I have taken due note of it now.
Dechaunac, when done right, can make an excellent red table wine that's slightly less pigmented than Foch, but that almost always has better acid balance than Baco Noir. I thought the existence of varietal Dechaunac in Niagara some ten years ago was an asset; but because VQA doesn't allow single-varietal wines from it to bear the VQA symbol, and because of low varietal recognition (hence prices) plus some possible issues with gall, the variety has literally disappeared since that time. Now, it has to be said that some PEC wineries have been making very pleasing wines from Dechaunac, so I am at least pleased to see it still being grown.
Never enough of a good thing, though!
