You will receive 1 Bare Root plant with a healthy root system.

Seyval Blanc, also known as Seyve Villard 5276, is a hybrid grape variety that is grown for white wine production. It is a cross between the French-American hybrid grape Seibel 4986 and the Vitis Vinifera variety Seibel 5279. The grape is widely planted in the cool climate regions of the United States and Canada, and is especially popular for sparkling wines.

Seyval Blanc is known for its crisp acidity and fruity aromas. It is usually described as having a combination of citrus, stone fruit, and floral notes. The grape is also known for its low tannin levels and moderate alcohol levels, making it suitable for many styles of white wine.

When it comes to planting Seyval Blanc, there are a few things to keep in mind. First of all, the grape is best suited to cooler climates, with temperatures that rarely exceed 70°F. The grape can also be grown in warmer climates, but will require considerable effort to maintain its quality.

When it comes to soil, Seyval Blanc prefers to be planted in well-draining, slightly acidic loam or clay soil. The soil should be amended with compost and other organic matter to provide the plants with the nutrients they need.

When it comes to planting, Seyval Blanc should be planted in full sun, with at least 8-10 hours of direct sunlight each day. It may also be grown in partial shade, but it won't produce the same quality of fruit.

When it comes to pruning, Seyval Blanc should be pruned according to cane pruning techniques, with the goal of maintaining an open canopy to allow for better air circulation and more light.

When it comes to training, Seyval Blanc vines should be trained using the Guyot system, with 4-6 buds per vine. This will help the vines produce higher quality fruit.

When it comes to harvesting, Seyval Blanc should be harvested when the sugar levels are at least 21°Brix. This will ensure that the grapes have enough sugar to make a balanced and flavorful wine.

When it comes to storing and transporting, Seyval Blanc should be kept cool and protected from direct sunlight. The grapes should also be handled with care, as they are prone to bruising if not handled properly.

Overall, Seyval Blanc is a great option for those looking to make white wine, especially sparkling wines. With proper planting, pruning, training, harvesting, and storing, you can be sure to produce some high quality fruit for your next batch of wine.

1. Choose a sunny spot in your yard that gets at least 8 hours of direct sunlight per day.

2. Prepare the soil by loosening it to a depth of at least 12 inches.

3. Plant the grapevines 6-10 feet apart, depending on the variety.

4. Water the plants regularly, making sure to keep the soil moist but not soggy.

7. Harvest the grapes when they are ripe, usually in late summer or early fall.

By following these simple guidelines, you can enjoy a bountiful harvest of sweet, juicy grapes each year. With proper care and attention, these grapes can produce a delicious crop for many years to come.
