Description:
Seyval is one of the most widely planted hybrid grapes east of the Rocky Mountains and is the most widely grown grape in Pennsylvania. When grapes are harvested at optimal maturity, wines have attractive aromas of grass, hay, and melon. A crisp, dry varietal white wine that accompanies any food with elegance. A refreshing clean finish makes Seyval Blanc a natural complement to salmon and shellfish. Although increasing in popularity, not all Seyval are created equal. Our Seyval recently won 'best of show' at the San Francisco wine competition.

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.

Optima:
Recent crossing of Riesling and Sylvaner grape with the Muller-Thurgau. Widely grown in the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer region of Germany and used for blending purposes in the white wines of the region.
