AURORE (SEIBEL 5279)

Out of Stock

Aurore is a white to pink variety that is vigorous and ripens about a month before Concord- its yield can equal or surpass that of Concord. Aurore is often used as a blending agent with a variety such as Seyval or as a base for sparkling wines. As a stand alone, Aurore makes a fruity white wine that is great with seafood and poultry. Aurore should be left off oak, and tends to oxidize if not handled properly in wine making.
