Straw green color. Aromas and flavors of welsh’s white grape juice, sweet peppers and garden herbs, fresh white flowers, and green apple pastry with an oily, bright, dryish medium-to-full body and a tingling, subtle, medium-length finish evoking elements of seville oranges, grapefruit, and touch of bitterness with no oak flavor. A complex and interesting white blend that shows the skill and value of having a great vignernon.

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.
