Clinton

The red grape variety originates from the USA. Synonyms are Bacchus (but there is no relation to this German new variety), Clinton Rose, Klinton, Plant des Carmes, Plant Pouzin, Red Kilianer or Kilianer Rot, Klinton, Vorthington, Worthington and Zephirin. It is a presumably natural interspecific cross between the species Vitis riparia x Vitis labrusca. The hybrid was discovered and selected in 1821 in a vineyard in the eponymous town of Clinton near Syracuse in New York State by student Hugh White. It was a crossing partner in the new varieties Autuchon, Brant, Canada, Cornucopia and Quassaic. Five open-pollinated seedlings of Clinton are the varieties Bacchus Black, Blaue von Selbach, Golden Clinton, Peabody and Vialla.
