A relative of the Saint Pepin, this direct-producing hybrid is the result of an interspecific cross between 5656 Seibel and Ray d'Or (4986 Seibel) obtained in 1921 by the Seyve-Villard company, formerly based in Saint Vallier (Drôme). Seyval blanc is registered in the official catalogue of wine grape varieties, list A.

Utah is a state in the American West, bordering Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming and Arizona. It has a small wine industry, as well as more well-known distilleries and breweries. Utah is often portrayed in the media as one of the least Alcohol-friendly states in the United States. This largely reflects the Mormon faith's stance on abstinence in the late 19th and 20th centuries.
