#183 Lake Emerald

We went to Eden Winery a small winery east of Ft. Myers Florida to sample this wine.  The Lake Emerald varietal came out of the University of Florida almost 60 years ago.  From what I can gather its parentage is Pixiola and Golden Muscat .  Amazingly it can handle those Florida temperatures, critters and blazing sun.  I was shocked to find this white dry, clean and thoroughly refreshing.  The winery says it is "Extremely dry, with an underbody of ripe fruit" and I think that sums it up neatly.  I would forgive you for thinking that this one was a light sauvignon blanc.  I bought a bottle to drink with some fresh seafood.
