Vitaceae
Vitis 'Seyval', commonly known as 'Seyval' grape vine, is a hybrid grape variety renowned for its great adaptability and winemaking quality. Its vigorous climbing habit, with twining tendrils, is easily trained on trellises, pergolas, or espalier systems in both gardens and vineyards. It produces medium to compact clusters of pale green to golden yellow grapes, with thin skins and juicy flesh, offering a good balance between sugar and acidity. Highly valued for the production of dry, aromatic, or sparkling white wines, it typically ripens in late summer. Its bright green deciduous foliage forms a dense canopy during the season. Vitis 'Seyval' attracts pollinating insects and is an excellent choice for cool climates seeking productivity and versatility.
