Abstract: A grapevine cultivar having a combination of good winter hardiness, vigor, grape cluster size, disease resistance and overall suitability as a red wine grape; the vine is winter hardy to about ?40 degrees F. (about ?40 degrees C.) and the grape is well-suited to the commercial production of Ice Wine because its grape clusters have a tendency to resist splitting and falling off the cluster after a hard freeze; the grapevine also produces relatively large clusters of grapes that are beneficial to commercial production.
Abstract: A grapevine plant botanically known as Vitis hybrid ‘Nicollet’, having a unique combination of hardiness, vigor, disease resistance, and grapes that produce high quality wine with intense tropical aromas and flavors with large clusters of grapes that are relatively easy to harvest and are beneficial to commercial production; the grapes having high sugars coupled with increased acidity, wich can result in fruit forward wines with tropical flavors and aromas.
Abstract: A grapevine plant botanically known as Vitis hybrid ‘Franconia’, having a unique combination of hardiness, vigor, disease resistance, and wine quality characterized by clusters of large grapes having high sugars coupled with increased acidity, which can result in wines with a more complex mouthfeel that is useful in balancing fortified wines with relatively high alcohol content.
