Melody is a hybrid white wine grape variety produced from a cross of Seyval blanc and a grape called Geneva White 5, which is itself a cross between Pinot blanc and Ontario.^[3] Melody produces a light white with notes of peach and honeysuckle, and refreshing acidity, even at low sugar levels (0.7%-0.6% RS).^[1]

The grape is noted for its resistance to powdery mildew and Botrytis, although downy mildew has been noted on leaves and clusters.^[3] It grows well in both sandy and clay loam soils.^[4]
