Goal Seyval Blanc

Goal Seyval Blanc Wine Details
Price: $10.99 per bottle

Description: Dry white with crisp flavor and soft finish. Some people perceive a citrus flavor. Cold fermented and bottled young to capture the fresh fruits character. Aged in stainless steel to preserve fruit flavor / aroma (oak would absorb fruit flavors and aroma and impart it's own in place). Similar to Pinot Grigio. Excellent with light dishes - seafood, poultry.

Varietal Definition
Seyval Blanc:
A French hybrid that is often thought of as "East Coast Chardonnay," or at least an alternative to same. Produced in a crisp, dry style, this white wine is often fermented or aged in oak to enhance the rather neutral flavors of the grape itself. It lends itself to service at the dining table and is food friendly. Seyval Blanc is often used in proprietary blends; good examples can be found from Prejean, Clinton and Château Lafayette Reneau.
