Seyval Blanc 2004

Seyval Blanc 2004 Wine Details
Price: $8.99 per bottle

Description: Bronze Medal NY Wine & Food Classic 2005. This crisp refreshing semi-dry white wine has hints of pear, dried apricot and peach. On the finish, some creamy flavors of vanilla and butterscotch turn up. Distinctive and clean. Serve with shellfish, appetizers, and spicy foods. Also a good match with Jarlsburg cheese.

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.
