Seyval Blanc Estate Block 1 North Creek Vineyard

Seyval Blanc Estate Block 1 North Creek Vineyard Wine Details
Price:

Description: Made from grapes grown in the Block 1 section of our estate vineyard – North Creek Vineyard - this exceptional wine is made using only 100% Seyval Blanc grown in our own vineyard. It’s also aged in French and American oak. The resulting wine is an incredible, light white wine filled with river stone mineral overtones, and dry, lemony finish. It’s done in the style of a fume blanc, and goes great with clams, oysters, shellfish, any kind of seafood, cheeses, chicken, all kinds of appetizers and salads.

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.
