Wine Details
Price:
$16.60 per bottle
Description:
This vintage was left on the lees for over a year before bottling, giving it a softer, smoother feel on the palate than is traditional for us. This is a great choice when the dish is more delicate and calls for more subtle flavours in the accompanying wine. Lovely. 12.3% alcohol. Sealed with a crown cap instead of a cork to better preserve the quality of the wine.

Varietal Definition
Sylvaner:
Widely grown in the Alsace region of France, Germany and Central Europe. Suited to temperate zones, the vine is high-yielding and the grape produces an "easy" white wine with lightly spicy, floral flavors and mild intensity. Once very popular in California, it seems to have fallen victim to changing fashion in recent years and been replaced by Johannisberg Riesling in current taste. It has also been crossed with the latter grape to yield the Muller-Thurgau hybrid grape and another hybrid version called Scheurebe as well as several other crossings of a similar nature.
