Vigorous and productive, cluster thinning may be required. Super cold-hardy; berries are small with small, compact clusters that ripen early. Known for high sugar levels and low acidity. Susceptible to downy and powdery mildew, as well as black rot.
Wine Characteristics
Similar to Concord, berries are sweet and tangy. Mostly used for jams and juice although they are not seedless.
