Le mistral

Le mistral Wine Details
Price: $16.95 per bottle

Description: Vin apéritif issu de jus de Seyval blanc légèrement fermenté, muté de brandy et d’alcool de grain avec une macération de pruneaux et d’abricots. Le résultat s’apparente de façon étonnante au Pineau des Charentes.

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.
