  • Marquette is a French-American hybrid variety, proprietary to the University of Minnesota. Marquette is promising for cold-climate producers and is less susceptible to fungi such as powdery mildew and black rot.
  • La Crescent is a French-American Hybrid variety. This white grape provides a very cold hardy and moderately disease resistant variety for growers.
  • Autumn Royal is a purple/black seedless table grape. Grown naturally, it has one of the largest berries of any seedless black variety.
  • Albariño from Spain is the same as Alvarinho in Portugal.  It is a common variety in both of these countries that has slowly been gaining in popularity in the United States.  The clusters are small with lots of space between the berries.  It is not suitable to cold winter temperatures. It is a medium producer that produces light, fruity wines with a higher acidity.
  • A parent to Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc is another of the Bordeaux varieties. Cab Franc is lighter than Cab Sauv with different flavor profiles. It ripens a little earlier than Cab Sauv and is very popular on the East Coast of the U.S. as it has a good tolerance for cold winter temperatures. Like Cab Sauv, Cab Franc has small, thick skinned berries that have a high tolerance to diseases.
  • Cabernet Sauvignon is our most popular selection. It is the most widely planted and recognized red wine variety in the United States. It is suitable for all growing regions where grapevines can be grown. Cabernet Sauvignon is easy to grow and care for and has low disease susceptibility. It is very tolerant to cold winter temperatures as well as high summer temperatures.
  • Chardonnay is our most popular white wine variety and is the most widely planted commercial white wine variety in the United States. It is suitable for all growing regions where grapevines are grown. Chardonnay has medium disease tolerance and is very tolerant to winter cold temperatures. It has medium to large clusters and berries and produces very well.
  • Diamond Muscat is an early season, seedless variety that can be used for eating fresh or dried to make raisins. It has a muscat flavor.
  • Exotic is a purple/black seedless table grape. It is very productive with round, juicy berries.
  • Flame Seedless is a late season, seedless variety that can be used for eating fresh or dried to make larger raisins.
  • Grenache is a late ripening variety that prefers hot and dry climates. Given the right conditions this variety can produce a large crop that will need to be balanced in the vineyard for quality wine production. The wines produced from this variety usually show bright red fruit and subtle spice characteristics.
  • One of the six main Bordeaux varieties, Malbec, or Cot as it is called in France, is a great stand-alone variety but normally used as a blender. It is fairly productive and provides deep color. It is grown throughout the world including France, the U.S., Argentina and Chile. However, it is not very winter hardy, so it is not recommended for regions dipping below 20 degrees F.
