Noiret
Noiret[edit | edit source]
Noiret is a red wine grape variety that is primarily grown and produced in the United States. It was developed at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station by grape breeders to be disease resistant and cold hardy, making it suitable for the harsh winters of the Northeastern United States.
History[edit | edit source]
The Noiret grape was released in 2006, but its development began in 1973. It is a hybrid grape, a cross between the NY65.0467.08 and Steuben varieties. The name "Noiret" reflects the grape's deep, dark color and is a nod to the noir (black in French) films of the 1940s and 1950s.
Viticulture[edit | edit source]
Noiret is a mid-season ripening grape, typically harvested in late September to early October. It is highly resistant to powdery mildew and moderately resistant to downy mildew, two common diseases that affect grapevines. This makes it a popular choice for growers in regions where these diseases are prevalent.
Wine Production[edit | edit source]
Noiret wines are known for their rich, dark color and full-bodied flavor. They often have notes of green and black pepper, with hints of raspberry, mint, and other dark fruits. The wine's acidity is typically balanced with its tannins, resulting in a smooth, well-rounded wine.
Food Pairing[edit | edit source]
Noiret wines pair well with a variety of foods. Their robust flavor and high tannin content make them a good match for red meats, hearty stews, and strong cheeses. They can also be enjoyed on their own, as a sipping wine.
Regions[edit | edit source]
While Noiret is primarily grown in New York, it has also found success in other regions of the United States, including Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana. It is also grown in Canada, particularly in the Niagara region.
