Seyval

Seyval Wine Details
Price:

Description: Named for it's creator Bertille Seyve, the Seyval Blanc hybrid grape was developed in France. It is a smooth fruity off-dry white, containing aromas of apples & citrus with a slight minerality in the finish. A great choice for poultry and seafood entrees. Cheers!

Varietal Definition
Seyval Blanc:
A French hybrid that is often thought of as "East Coast Chardonnay," or at least an alternative to same. Produced in a crisp, dry style, this white wine is often fermented or aged in oak to enhance the rather neutral flavors of the grape itself. It lends itself to service at the dining table and is food friendly. Seyval Blanc is often used in proprietary blends; good examples can be found from Prejean, Clinton and Château Lafayette Reneau.
