Smith-Berry Seyval

Smith-Berry Seyval Wine Details
Price:

Description: is light, dry, unoaked white wine is pear in color with aromas of yeast, white cake, honeysuckle, and flowers. Apple, pear, and minerals are prevalent in the mouth. The finish is clean and crisp, yet lingers considerably. The wine is similar in structure and flavor to a French Musacadet and is an excellent match for shellfish.

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.
