2017 Rayon d’Or

The Wine:

Made from the rare Rayon d’Or grape, this wine offers fresh apple and citrus character that is highlighted by a slightly sweet finish.   [1.7% residual sugar]

The Grape:

Rayon d’Or: (RAY-on DOOR) A grape variety that was widely planted in the Loire Valley of France, where it became a parent of both Seyval and Vidal Blanc. The grapes ripen beautifully in our Treloar, Missouri vineyard, producing a wine that shows both an herbal – citrus crispness and a delightful spiciness. Makes a fine aperitif. Blumenhof grows 1 acre of Rayon d’Or.
