Ventura

The white grape variety (also Vineland 51-061) is an interspecific new variety between Chelois x Elvira. It contains genes from Vitis aestivalis, Vitis cinerea, Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in 1951 by the breeder O. A. Bradt at the University of Guelph in the province of Ontario (Canada). It yields white wines with a pronounced foxy. The variety is also used as table grape. In 2016, 10 hectares of vineyards were designated in the US state of New York (Finger Lakes area) (Kym Anderson statistics).
