Discover the best wines made with Seyval blanc as a single variety or as a blend of Yadkin County.
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).
Heart of the Yadkin Valley AVA (2003), first AVA of North Carolina on the northwest hills of the state. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are the signature reds with blackcurrant, plum, black cherry and a herbaceous touch, balanced tannins. Cabernet Franc, Syrah and Petit Verdot add structure. Chardonnay, Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc offer aromatic whites.
