Noiret (grape variety)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Noiret is a red wine variety . It was newly bred in 1973 by the American breeders Bruce Reisch and Thomas Henick-Kling. Noiret is a cross between NY 65.0467.08 and Steuben. It is an extremely complex breed in which genes from the wild grapes Vitis rupestris , Vitis labrusca and Vitis vinifera are present. The new breed was developed at Cornell University in Geneva (the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station, Department of Pomology and Viticulture , i.e. the grapevine breeding institute in New York State ). The university is located at the southern end of Cayuga Lake . The first experimental plantings were established in 1975 and larger field trials started in 1994. The grape variety has been approved for commercial viticulture since July 7, 2006. Noiret delivers fruity red wines with a light cherry aroma and deep red color. Since it is a hybrid grape, it is not approved for quality wines according to EU regulations. The Fox clay , which is typical of American grape varieties , was largely bred away. Vineyards are known in the American states of Pennsylvania (→ viticulture in Pennsylvania ) and New Hampshire (→ viticulture in New Hampshire ). The vigorous variety is very hardy.
