Price:
$14.00 per bottle
Description:
Made exclusively from Iowa grown Edelweiss, this off dry Iowa white gives off the intoxicating aroma of butterscotch, with hints of apricot and pear. Edelweiss fills the palate with great aromas, while the well balanced acidity, and hint of spice lead to a long satisfying finish. This wine should be served with lighter chicken, pork and pasta dishes and would also make a great picnic wine.

Varietal Definition
Edelweiss:
Created by Elmer Swenson, this white grape is derived from an Ontario x MN 78 cross. Edelwies is disease resistant and very winter-hardy, reportedly to -30 F (approx. -34 C). Along with other Swensen varieties, it is an important varietal in the northern United States. The vine produces large, loose clusters, with pale gold berries. The grapes of the vine are often used to make sweet white wines or occasionally left on the vine long enough to produce icewines. Edelweiss is very disease resistant
