Discover the best wines made with Seyval blanc as a single variety or as a blend of Northern Region.
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).
Major wine region of Israel encompassing Upper Galilee, Lower Galilee, and the Golan Heights, altitudes 180-1,200 m, volcanic basaltic and limestone soils. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah are the signature reds: fleshy and precise with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, black cherry, Mediterranean garrigue, and a mineral touch, ripe tannins with freshness preserved by altitude. Carignan, Grenache, and Mourvèdre as reds. Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc as vibrant fresh whites.
