Wines made from Seyval blanc grapes of Georgia
Discover the best wines made with Seyval blanc as a single variety or as a blend of Georgia.
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).
Historic cradle of the vine (8,000 years, UNESCO), 500+ native grapes. Signature Saperavi as a teinturier red: dense, deep reds with signature notes of black cherry, blackberry, plum, liquorice, leather, spices and a smoky touch, firm tannins and lively acidity - great ageing. Rkatsiteli in white (~45%), lively and structured (citrus, apricot, honey). The millennia-old qvevri tradition (buried jars): "ambers" on skins with notes of dried fruits, walnut, black tea.
