Light gold color. Aromas and flavors of summer peach, sunflower oil, yellow apple, lychees in syrup, and orange supremes with a round, bright, off-dry medium body and a smooth, interesting, breezy finish with accents of toasted fruit cake with marmalade. A peachy and wild summer white that offers juicy off-dry flavors to the adventurous imbiber.

While white varieties such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling are very important throughout wine regions in the US, there are numerous others planted in various zones. In California, Italian varieties such as Pinot Grigio and Arneis can be found, while producers in Santa Barbara and Paso Robles work with white Rhone varieties such as Marsanne and Viognier.

New York State works with hybrid grapes, both French and American. Among these are Cayuga, Seyval Blanc and Vignoles. This last grape is also grown in various Midwest states such as Missouri, Indiana and Illinois.
