Smith-Berry Single Eastern European Oak

Smith-Berry Single Barrel Select Eastern European Oak Wine Details
Price:

Description: This Seyval aged in Hungarian oak is of a lightly golden color. Aromas of tropical fruit, vanilla, yeast and hay are readily available as one inhales from the glass. Flavors of coconut, pear, apple & creamy vanilla greet the palate, with a light spiciness on the finish. This well rounded, medium bodied dry white wine would be an attractive pairning with most fish and chicken dishes. Ample acidity also makes it a good choice for creamy pasta sauces as well.

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.
