Seyval Noir

The red grape variety (also SV 5247) is an interspecific new variety between Seibel 5656 x Seibel 4986(Rayon d'Or). It contains genes from Vitis lincecumii, Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera. By the way, the much more successful white variety Seyval Blanc was created with the same parents. The hybrid was crossed by Bertille Seyve jr (1895-1959) at the Seyve-Villard vine nursery in Saint-Vallier in the Isère department (Rhône valley) in France. Moderately resistant to frost and diseases in general, the vine is susceptible to powdery mildew. It is cultivated in Brazil (63 ha) and Canada (12 ha). In 2016, a total of 76 hectares of vines were designated (Kym Anderson statistics).
