Bluestem Fume'

Bluestem Fume' Wine Details
Price:

Description: This dry white embraces the essence of the fall prairie. The pale yellow reminds of the waves of grass cover the hills in the fall and cool crisp acid levels suggests that time just nightly freezes start. The pleasing nose with notes of apricot and peach of is characteristic of the Seyval Blanc grape. Note in some of the bottles is a true touch of the prairie...the Big Bluestem Grass. This is the wine that many dry white wine drinkers describe as similar to Pinot Grigio.

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.
