Valiant

The red grape variety (also South Dakota 72S15) is an interspecific new variety between Fredonia x South Dakota 9-39 (a Riparia seedling). It contains genes from Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in 1967 at South Dakota State University by R. M. Peterson.

Valiant - Weintraube und Blatt

Characteristics

The early-maturing vine is extremely resistant to frost down to minus 46 °Celsius, but is susceptible to both types of mildew and black rot and is therefore more suitable for dry climates. It produces deep-coloured, low-acid red wines. However, the variety is mainly used for the production of table grapes, grape juice and grape jelly.
