Vincent

The red grape variety (breeding no. Vineland 49-431) is an interspecific new variety between Vineland 370-628 (Lomanto x Seneca) x Seibel 10-878 (Chelois). It must not be confused with the St Vincent variety. It contains genes from Vitis aestivalis, Vitis champinii, Vitis cinerea, Vitis labrusca, Vitis lincecumii, Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in 1947 by grower O. A. Bradt in Ontario-Canada.

Characteristics

The late-maturing, high-yielding vine is very resistant to frost down to minus 26 °Celsius, but is susceptible to powdery mildew. It produces dark-coloured, rather low-tannin red wines with aromas of cherries and plums. The variety is mainly used in cuvées as a colouring grape ( Teinturier ).

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
