Seyval Blanc

Seyval Blanc Wine Details
Price: $7.99 per bottle

Description: Johnson Estate Seyval Blanc is a crisp, attractively fruity and moderately dry white table wine. In order to capture its freshness and flavor, we give the wine a slow, cool fermentation and then bottle it as soon after the vintage as possible. Our Seyval Blanc is made entirely in glass lined tanks as we feel that wood masks this wine's delicate character.

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.
