2022 Seyval Blanc
Seyval Blanc
KS - Kansas
$25.00 / 750 mL Bottle
Our 2022 Seyval Blanc showcases the elegant potential of French-American hybrid grapes in Kansas' Kaw Valley region. Crafted from grapes grown at Rappaho Vineyard in Vinland, Kansas, this sophisticated white wine undergoes barrel fermentation followed by malolactic conversion and eleven months of aging sur lie with regular bâtonnage in neutral American oak barrels. This traditional Burgundian winemaking approach honors both the grape's French breeding program heritage and its natural affinity for barrel aging. A versatile food wine, it pairs beautifully with grilled seafood, roasted poultry, and creamy Kansas artisanal cheeses.

Notes
In the glass, this refined Seyval Blanc reveals its complexity through layers of enticing aromas. The initial bouquet presents bright green apple and fresh lemon zest, followed by delicate notes of honeysuckle and caramel. As the wine opens, nuanced expressions of butterscotch emerge, intertwined with subtle mineral notes and ripe melon undertones. The palate mirrors these aromatic promises while showcasing the variety's elegant, Chardonnay-like character, creating a harmonious expression that balances a creamy texture with a light, graceful body. The result is a wine of surprising delicacy that demonstrates Seyval Blanc's special ability to shine when crafted in this sophisticated style.
