Seyval blanc
Seyval blanc is a French-American hybrid grape with
large green clusters and medium size berries. Cluster thinning is
recommended.
The vines are moderately vigorous and moderately
hardy. Seyval is susceptible to fungal diseases including powdery
mildew and bunches are susceptible to rot. Seyval blanc ripens about
two weeks before Concord.
Seyval blanc is processed as a white wine and is not
fermented on the skins. Seyval makes a good all purpose neutral crisp
white wine that is light to medium in body. It is light green to straw
in color.
