Wine Review: This lively and fascinating white wine made from 100% Seyval Blanc grapes from the Middleburg region of Virginia has very aromatic nose of apricot, grass, pink grapefruit, light peony florals, and herbal notes. It is very pale straw colored. The palate is medium-minus bodied with medium-plus acidity, dry, layered, and balanced. The silky smooth and supple mouthfeel displays wonderful tension with the raciness. There are flavors of poached pear with honey, orange zest, crushed stone, fresh herbs, and notes of honeydew, lime, and ash. The finish is crisp, savory and lingers a while. Serve chilled with shrimp scampi over angel hair pasta. - Mark
Winemaker Notes: Delicate aromas of orange blossom, orange rind, and fresh watermelon open the nose, accented by a touch of minerality that adds intrigue and depth. Light-bodied and dry on the palate, with bright acidity and a clean, crisp finish. Subtle notes of green apple weave through the wine from start to finish, adding a layer of refreshing complexity that makes every sip feel rewarding. The 2024 Seyval Blanc is made for fresh, relaxed eating. Pan- seared trout finished with lemon and capers is a natural match.
