2008 MARÉCHAL FOCH SIGNATURE Tasting Notes: We just love making this French-American hybrid grape into wine. Calling this a “Signature” vintage is our way of telling you that it is one of our very finest. This estate wine bursting with flavors of black current, plum & spice, ends with a complex lingering finish. It’s great with roasts in the winter and rich pasta dishes in the summer. Sue recommends pairing it with Sausage and Zucchini Lasagna from allrecipes.com. Winemaking: Maréchal Foch (MAHR-shahl FOHSH) or just Foch, is one of two hybrid grapes we have planted at the estate, Dunn Forest Vineyard. The fruit was gently de- stemmed by a Euro Select into 1.5-ton fermenters leaving a very high whole berry content. A three to four day cold soak proceeded inoculation done with a variety of yeasts designed to increase complexity and mouth-feel. Fermentations were punched down twice a day for ten days with temperatures peaking around 90°F. The wine was racked via gravity directly to barrel. The skins were shoveled into the press and allowed to drain before pressing creating both free run barrels and pressed wine barrels. After 9 months in American oak barrels the wines were racked to tank for blending and bottled in September 2009. Harvest Notes: 2008 started out a little scary with snow in April but ended with a beautiful Indian summer producing well-balanced wines. A cold dry spring seemed to have little effect on bloom, it occurred mid-June and we had beautiful fruit set. Timely August and September rains along with a warm October made for an excellent ripening season. The grapes were hand- picked on October 14th and processed the same day. Our vineyards are certified sustainable by Salmon Safe and LIVE (Low Input Viticulture and Enology). The vineyards are hand cultivated allowing us to respond to individual vine needs.

Training Systems for Cold Climate Hybrid Grapes in Wisconsin
A4157 Training systems for cold climate hybrid grapes in Wisconsin A. Atucha and M. Wimmer Cold climate hybrid grape cultivars (e.g., ‘Marquette’, ‘Frontenac’, ‘La Crescent’, ‘Brianna’, etc.) differ from European grape (Vitis vinifera) cultivars in several respects and require separate consideration with regard to the most appropriate training system. This publication focuses on aspects to consider when choosing a training system for cold climate hybrid grapes. Introduction Choosing a training system The training of grapevines refers to the physical action of The choice of an adequate training system will be influenced by manipulating a vine into a particular size, shape, and orientation. the following factors. The main objectives of training grapevines are to: 1. Maximize the interception of light by leaves and clusters, Cultivar growth habit Cold climate hybrids have a broad range of growth habits from leading to higher yield, improved fruit quality, and better procumbent (or downwards) to upright, and the choice of training disease control; system should adapt to the growth characteristic of the cultivar. 2. Facilitate pruning, canopy management, harvesting, and Cold climate hybrid cultivars with procumbent growth adapt well mechanization of the vineyard; to training systems that have downward shoot orientation such 3.

Champanel Grapes Make Excellent Jelly and Are Often Used to Make a Fruity-Flavored Red Wine
EHT-120 4/19 Grape Variety Profile: Champanel Justin Scheiner* Champanel is a Pierce’s Disease (PD) tol- erant hybrid grape cultivar. It was developed by T.V. Munson in 1893 as a cross between the native Texas species Vitis champinii and the Worden cultivar. Worden is a Vitis labrusca hybrid grape, similar to Concord. As such, Champanel resembles Concord in appearance and flavor but is better adapted to the growing conditions in Texas. Champanel has a procumbent (downward) growth habit with pubescent shoots and leaves. These fine “hairs” grow densely on the back side Figure 1: Two year old Champanel vine displaying a of the leaves, giving them an aesthetic silver or downward growth habit. light grey appearance. The leaves of Champanel can be quite large —6 to 8 inches across (Fig. 2). Champanel is a vigorous grower and should be trained to a high wire system that allows the shoots to cascade downward. Champanel is very popular for arbors and other structures due to its attractive appearance and fruit. Champanel grapes make excellent jelly and are often used to make a fruity-flavored red wine. Champanel is typically grown as un-grafted or own-rooted vines. It has been used as root- stock due to its tolerance to a wide range of soil * Extension Viticulture Specialist, The Texas A&M University System Figure 2: Large leaf and cluster of Champanel. conditions and possible tolerance to cotton root This moth often heavily infests the leaves of rot.

Venizelou Ave., Athens, Greece Received 21 June 2013, revised 8 May 2014, accepted 23 May 2014, available online 20 November 2014 Abstract. Since the formulation of the “French paradox”, red grape wines are generally considered to be health-promoting products rather than culpable alcoholic beverages. The total wine production, totalling an equivalent of 30 billion 750 mL bottles in 2009, only verifies the fact that global demand is increasing and that the polyphenols present in wines are accounting for a significant proportion of the daily antioxidant intake of the general population. Both statements justify the interest of new regions to be self-sufficient in the wine production. Novel cold tolerant hybrid grape varieties also make it possible to produce wines in regions where winter temperatures fall below – 30 °C and the yearly sum of active temperatures does not exceed 1750 °C.

High Quality Hybrid Wines My Experience with Cold Hardy Hybrids
High Quality Hybrid Wines Viticulture and Wine Making Mark L. Chien Statewide Viticulture Extension Educator Penn State Cooperative Extension [email protected] My Experience with Cold Hardy Hybrids • Vermont • NE Pennsylvania • Minnesota Style and Price • Who are your customers? – Rural palate – Wine snobs in the city – The Missouri hybrid example • Wine goals – What are goals of the industry? • PA example: regional recognition and respect – Seeking vinifera look‐alikes – As an industry, have you decided on a particular style and type of wine when the consumer thinks “Nebraska”? Viticulture and Wine Making Goals • #1. You must believe this! Hybrid grapes can make really good wine • But… can you push vinifera or hybrids into vinifera‐like wines (do you even want to?) • Optimize fruit maturity every vintage • Maximum cold hardiness in all varieties • Produce fruit and vines that are health and free of defects • The same viticulture principles and practices support all of these objectives! • Aromatic white wines will be the best. Red wines will always be a struggle for real quality • This is truly farming on the edge. You have to be a better grower than the guy in California or Australia Hybrid Varieties: Cornell • Whites – Valvin Muscat: characteristic muscat flavors but can have bitterness – Traminette: no substitute for Gewurz but it makes a nice, spicy wine – Cayuga White: great base and blending wine for many basic whites – Chardonel: no substitute for Chardonnay but can make nice wines – Vignoles: late harvest botrytised wine can be delicious – NY 76 and 81: in the field and showing great promise! • Reds – Noiret: moderate to excessive vigor but wines can be balanced and attractive – Corot Noir: deep red color with berry and cherry fruit aromas – GR‐7: big yields, grapey flavors, high acid Hybrid Varieties: Univ of MN and Swenson • Whites – incredible aromatic white wine varieties – La Crescent: wow!
