Wine Details
Price:
$7.99 per bottle
Description:
Johnson Estate Chautauqua Blanc is a lovely, light and refreshing semi-dry wine that has a delightful aroma and a beautifully balanced flavor. The Seyval, Aurora, and Vidal in the blend give an elegant "European" character to the flavor and aroma of the wine. The Delaware lends the wine fruitiness and a flowery bouquet, while the Catawba gives the wine its "backbone" and basic character.

Varietal Definition
Catawba:
This was perhaps the earliest discovered native American grape, growing wild in Ohio and New York valleys, but it has since been surpassed by the Concord as the most widely planted native East Coast grape varietal. It primarily is used to make off-dry or sweet red wines, with a pronounced foxy (a unique aroma/flavor profile variously described as wild and musky) labrusca flavor. A number of producers also utilize this grape to make sparkling wine.

Delaware:
A native American hybrid grape variety used to make dry, sweet and sparkling white wines of good quality and mild "foxy" character. Commonly grown in the Eastern U.S. where it has considerable popularity when made into "ice-wine".
