Vitis × doaniana, commonly known as Doan's grape, is a hybrid grape species within the Vitis genus. This species is a result of the crossbreeding between Vitis aestivalis and Vitis vinifera, two well-known grape species widely cultivated for fruit, juice, and wine production. The hybrid was named after its identifier, horticulturist Munson.

Description[edit | edit source]

Vitis × doaniana exhibits characteristics that are intermediate between its parent species. The vines of Doan's grape are vigorous and capable of climbing due to their climbing tendrils. The leaves are typically large, lobed, and have a leathery texture with a glossy surface. The grapes produced by this hybrid are small to medium in size, with a blue-black skin when ripe. They are known for their robust flavor, making them suitable for both table consumption and wine production.

Cultivation[edit | edit source]

The cultivation of Vitis × doaniana requires similar conditions to its parent species. It thrives in well-drained, fertile soils and benefits from full exposure to sunlight. The plant is relatively hardy but may require protection from extreme cold temperatures and frost. Pruning is essential to manage vine growth and optimize fruit production.

Uses[edit | edit source]

Doan's grape is utilized in various ways, primarily for the production of wine. Its grapes are valued for their unique flavor profile, which contributes to the complexity of wines. Additionally, they are consumed fresh and used in the production of grape juice.

Distribution[edit | edit source]

While specific details on the distribution of Vitis × doaniana are limited, it is generally cultivated in regions that support the growth of its parent species, particularly in temperate climates favorable for grape cultivation.
