Wines made from Seyval blanc grapes of Gaspereau Valley
Discover the best wines made with Seyval blanc as a single variety or as a blend of Gaspereau Valley.
Lively, taut whites with a slender palate and fresh acidity, with aromas of citrus (lemon, grapefruit), green apple, white flowers, pear and discreet herbal notes. Refreshing finish; best drunk young. A cold- and disease-resistant interspecific variety, it produces whites and sparkling wines in the UK (Kent, Sussex), Canada (Quebec, Ontario) and the northeastern US. French hybrid created by Bertille Seyve (Seyve-Villard 5-276).
One of Nova Scotia's four wine regions (Atlantic Canada), a narrow valley on ancient sea-floor slopes, cool maritime climate. L'Acadie Blanc is the signature cool-climate white (~55% of regional harvest with NY Muscat, Chardonnay, Riesling, Vidal): taut and crisp with green apple, peach, citrus and a brioche-saline hint, lively acidity and persistent finish. Exceptional traditional-method sparkling wines. Tidal Bay is the flagship appellation.
