Description:
Edelweiss is an Austrian-style hybrid similar to Gruner Veltliner, Austria’s most planted grape. It’s a smooth summer drink with overtones of peach and pear. It goes great with salad, fruits, and light summertime meals. Developed by the University of Minnesota for cold climates, this grape is cold-hearty to minus 30-degrees but grows well in Missouri where our winters are not so harsh.

Varietal Definition
Edelweiss:
Created by Elmer Swenson, this white grape is derived from an Ontario x MN 78 cross. Edelwies is disease resistant and very winter-hardy, reportedly to -30 F (approx. -34 C). Along with other Swensen varieties, it is an important varietal in the northern United States. The vine produces large, loose clusters, with pale gold berries. The grapes of the vine are often used to make sweet white wines or occasionally left on the vine long enough to produce icewines. Edelweiss is very disease resistant
