The grape variety (also New York 11683) is an interspecific new variety between Mills x Ontario. It contains genes from Vitis labrusca and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in 1923 at the Vine Breeding Institute of Cornell University in Geneva, New York State. The berries have a foxtone. The variety is used as table grape and grown in Brazil, Japan and Canada. No stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson).

The Wine lexicon helps me to keep up to date and refresh my knowledge. Thank you for this Lexicon that will never end in terms of topicality! That's what makes it so exciting to come back often.
