Description:
Made from 100% Chenin Blanc grapes, our Vouvray is named after the small town of Vouvray, in the Loire Valley of France, that specializes in the growing of Chenin Blanc grapes. This French varietal has been transplanted to the Guadalupe Valley where it flourishes to produce a fruity wine, with just a hint of residual sugar. It's sure to tickle your fancy served at picnics, poolside, or anytime.

Varietal Definition
Chenin Blanc:
Classic white varietal of France's Loire Valley and now grown throughout the world. Known for its rather unusual 'wet-wool', 'damp straw' aromas, it tends to be more floral than fruity when young and gives high acidity, growing well in marginal climates. It ages well and its susceptibility to 'botrytis'* produces some of the great sweet wines of the Loire, for example Quarts de Chaume and Vouvray. It is grown widely in South Africa where it is known as 'Steen'.
