Founders Seyval Blanc

Founders Seyval Blanc Wine Details
Price: $18.00 per bottle

Description: This wine varietal was first planted in the Midwest, in Michigan, by our winemaster, Leonard R. Olson, in 1969. It has become a mainstay in most eastern states. Taste this dry wine, which has enough fruit flavors to make it seem slightly sweet. Enjoy this 2007 vintage with shell fish or as a stand-alone refreshing drink.

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.
