The white grape variety is a new breed from the USA. Synonyms include Delavar, Delavar Rozovii, Delavar Serii, Delawar, Delaware Piros, Fehér Delaware, French Grape, Grape from Delaware City - Ohio, Gray Delaware, Heath, Heath Grape, Italian Winegrape, Ladies Choice, Piros Delaware, Powell, Rose Colored Delaware, Ruff and Ruff Heath.
The variety is a crossbreed (Vitis aestivalis x Vitis labrusca) x Vitis vinifera or Catawba (there is no indication of a DNA analysis in the VIVC catalog). The variety has subsequently been a popular crossing partner for many new breeds such as, among others, Beauty of Minnesota, Brilliant, Delago, Dutchess, Headlight, Ithaca, Monroe, Nectar and Reliance (2). Two open-pollinated seedlings are Heunis and Jewel.
The Wine lexicon helps me to keep up to date and refresh my knowledge. Thank you for this Lexicon that will never end in terms of topicality! That's what makes it so exciting to come back often.
