Wines made from Seyval blanc grapes of Utah
Discover the best wines made with Seyval blanc as a single variety or as a blend of Utah.
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).
Arid and mountainous western US state, high-altitude vineyards (900–1,500 m) irrigated under a desert climate with marked day-night temperature swings preserving acidity. Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Malbec, Sangiovese and Pinot Noir are the signature reds: fleshy with ripe fruits, garrigue, spice and a mineral touch, balanced tannins. Chardonnay, Sémillon, Malvasia Bianca and Muscat as fresh whites with citrus and ripe fruit. Greater Zion AVA in planning.
