Wines made from Seyval blanc grapes of Schaffhausen
Discover the best wines made with Seyval blanc as a single variety or as a blend of Schaffhausen.
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).
Wine canton of northern German-speaking Switzerland, nicknamed "Blauburgunderland". Signature Pinot Noir (Blauburgunder, 60-70%): fine, silky reds with signature notes of cherry, raspberry, undergrowth, sweet spices and a chalky mineral touch, delicate tannins and taut freshness — compared to fine village Burgundies. Klettgau is the flagship sub-region. Müller-Thurgau whites (local Riesling-Silvaner) lively and fruity (apple, citrus).
