The white grape variety (also Vineland 63-331) is an interspecific new cross between Vineland 50-154 (Plantet x Seibel 14-664) x New York 25-681. It contains genes from Vitis berlandieri, Vitis labrusca, Vitis lincecumii, Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in 1963 by the breeders Helen A. Fisher and Oliver A. Bradt at the Ontario Horticultural Research Institute of Canada. It was released for cultivation in 1983. The high-yielding vine is susceptible to fungal diseases. It produces white wines similar to riesling. The variety is cultivated in Canada, as well as in the two US states of New York and Missouri. However, no stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).
There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
