Vivant

Vivant Wine Details
Price: $14.99 per bottle

Description: A bit of the tropics in Missouri! This fruity semi-dry white wine exhibits a bounty of tropical fruit tastes...kiwi, banana, mango, and citrus. Best served slightly chilled with grilled chicken, pineapple pork, and any salad, especially Caesar. A great taste of the islands, grass skirt and coconuts not included!

Varietal Definition
Vivant:
Has synonym name Vineland 63331. Hybrid cross released in 1983 by Ontario Horticultural Research Institute of Canada. Is result of a Vineland 50154 x NY 25681 cross. Hardiness slightly less than Concord, but better than Seyval Blanc. Vulnerable to fungal diseases. Ripens in early October at Vineland, Ontario, Canada, giving small, yellow-tan skinned berries. Although vigorous and productive this cultivar has not excited much interest despite claims of good white wine (similar to Riesling) production.
