Late Harvest Vivant Wine Details

Description: Gold - 2006 Missouri State Fair, MO. Perfect growing conditions in 2004 enticed us to produce this delicate prized dessert wine! Quince, lychee and apricot flavors and aromas linger delightfully on the palate.

Varietal Definition
Vivant:
Has synonym name Vineland 63331. Hybrid cross released in 1983 by Ontario Horticultural Research Institute of Canada. Is result of a Vineland 50154 x NY 25681 cross. Hardiness slightly less than Concord, but better than Seyval Blanc. Vulnerable to fungal diseases. Ripens in early October at Vineland, Ontario, Canada, giving small, yellow-tan skinned berries. Although vigorous and productive this cultivar has not excited much interest despite claims of good white wine (similar to Riesling) production.
