Description: A semi-dry wine crafted from a blend of three French-American Hybrids: Kay Gray, La Crosse, and Seyval. Good acidity holds the sweetness for a nice elegant finish. Serve chilled or at room temperature with a meal of salmon or chicken.

Varietal Definition
La Crosse:
LaCrosse is a part of a long line of successful Elmer Swenson-created grapes. A hybrid of Seyval Blanc and the Minn. 78 x S.1000, the vine produces grapes capable of making good quality, fruity white wine. Compared to its parent Seyval, the vine is cold hardier, and ripens slightly earlier. Grown in Minnesota and Wisconsin, the high-yielding vine will do well in all the upper Midwest states with short growing seasons and cold winters. It has average susceptibility to the usual diseases.
