Seyval Blanc
Seyval Blanc is a versatile and productive green-skinned grape variety that thrives in cool climates, making it a popular choice along the East Coast. This early-ripening hybrid produces light to medium-bodied white wines with a flavor profile that is often compared to Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, featuring crisp citrus and pear notes. Seyval Blanc is known for its upright growth habit and tends to overbear, requiring careful thinning to ensure proper ripening and maintain vine health. Although slightly less hardy than L’Acadie Blanc, it performs well in warmer microclimates with deep, well-drained soils. This variety’s adaptability allows for wines to be made in a range of styles, from crisp and clean to more robust and complex.
