The hybrid grape varieties widely planted in the eastern and midwestern United States may not be well known, but the wines they produce are increasingly well made. This blend of Vidal Blanc and Traminette from Jolo offers bright citrus and tropical aromas, is well balanced, bone dry and long on the palate. A Platinum Award winner at the 2019 Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition.
