2021 Verde
Seyval is a very vigorous variety that contributes more green flavors to the final wine. On the nose and palate, notes of citrus and green apple dominate this wine from start to finish. A light effervescence lifts the aromatics and contributes to the lively nature of this wine. A wonderful palate cleanser before tasting other wines. Wonderful with fresh seafood like sushi, fish tacos, and shellfish. It will pair well in a complementary manner with rich cheeses and fatty meats.
Bottled by hand and available exclusively to Wine Club Members to start.

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Fresh and green, the 2021 iteration of our Verde is made from 100% estate grown Seyval Blanc. Seyval is a very vigorous variety which contributes more green flavors to the final wine. On the nose and palate, notes of citrus and green apple dominate this wine from start to finish. A light effervescence lifts the aromatics and contributes to the lively nature of this wine. A wonderful palate cleanser before tasting other wines.
Production Notes
Grapes are harvested early, while they are still green, meaning they have lower sugar content and higher acid. This translates to a low-alcohol, tart, light-bodied white wine. It is lightly carbonated before bottling to give the wine its signature light effervescence.
Winemaker Notes
A verde style wine from a hot year, the grapes for this wine were picked very early (August) to preserve their acidity. This is a lighter, acid driven wine with low alcohol. It is a great aperitif and palate cleanser before a tasting or a meal. It’s also wonderful on its own during the hot summer months.
Food Pairing Notes
Wonderful with fresh seafood like sushi, fish tacos and shellfish. Will pair well in a complimentary manor with rich cheeses and fatty meats.
