Horizon

The white grape variety is an interspecific new breed between Seyval Blanc x Schuyler. Synonyms include Geneva White 7, GW 7, and NY 33-472. It contains genes from Vitis labrusca, Vitis lincecumii, Vitis rupestris, and Vitis vinifera. The crossing of the hybrid took place in 1945 at the grape breeding institute of Cornell University in Geneva, New York State. It is cultivated in the northern USA and in Canada. The variety produces white wines with a light Foxton, but is mainly used for grape juice production. No stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson).
