SEYVAL BLANC

SEYVAL BLANC Wine Details
Price:

Description: Light, semi dry French-American hybrid. Some fruit flavor, this wine is done in the Germanic style, fermented in stainless steel. Grapes are early harvest in order to keep the strong Seyval flavor mild.

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.
