Ovation Wine Details
Price: $8.95 per bottle

Description: Light, refreshing and spicy, this semi sweet white blend of Traminette and Cayuga is the perfect Summer Sipper. Tropical hints of pineapple, kiwi and banana coupled with a crisp finish make this wine an easy drinker.

Varietal Definition
Traminette:
'Traminette' is a late mid-season white wine grape which produces wine with pronounced varietal character likened to one of its parents, 'Gewürztraminer'. 'Traminette' is distinguished by its superior wine quality combined with good productivity, partial resistance to several fungal diseases, and cold hardiness superior to its acclaimed parent, 'Gewürztraminer'.
Cayuga:
A hybrid cross between the Johannisberg Riesling and Seyval Blanc grapes. Makes a fruity white wine of mild intensity somewhat similar to Aurore. Widely grown in the Finger Lakes region of New York State and other cool regions of North America.
