Blû

Blû Wine Details
Price: $13.00 per bottle

Description: Easily recognized by its striking cobalt blue bottle, our Blû is a light, crisp, semi-sweet white wine that starts out smooth and ends with a crisp, refreshing finish. This fun, easy-drinking wine is a blend of Geisenheim and Seyval Blanc, and shows inviting flower and fruit overtones of violet, pear, and peach. Serve slightly chilled on a quiet summer afternoon with light picnic fare, or all by itself.

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.
