La Crescent (grape)
La Crescent is a white grape variety that is primarily grown in the Midwest region of the United States. It is a cold-hardy grape that is used to produce high-quality wines with intense aromas.
History[edit | edit source]
La Crescent was developed by the University of Minnesota's grape breeding program, which is known for its work in creating cold-hardy grape varieties. The grape was released in 2002 and is a cross between the 'St. Pepin' grape and a Swenson selection of Vitis riparia x Muscat Hamburg.
Viticulture[edit | edit source]
La Crescent is a high-quality grape that is well-suited to the cold climates of the Midwest. It is resistant to many common grape diseases and has a high yield potential. The grape ripens in late September to early October, and it is often harvested with high sugar levels.
Wine production[edit | edit source]
La Crescent is used to produce a variety of wines, including dry, off-dry, sweet, and dessert wines. The wines made from La Crescent are known for their intense aromas, which can include notes of citrus, peach, apricot, and tropical fruit. The high acidity of the grape also gives the wines a crisp, refreshing finish.
