Formally NY 81.0315.17, Aravelle is sold only as grafted vines as own-rooted vines are not sufficiently vigorous in most locations. Excellent wine quality potential with much less susceptibility to botrytis bunch rot than its Riesling parent. Winter primary bud hardiness ranks better than Cayuga ...
Vincent vines are medium in vigor and very productive. The dark blue fruit ripens late and produces a very dark juice that is useful for blending with varieties that have low pigment content.

Chardonel is a productive, late-ripening white wine grape with improved winter hardiness over its Chardonnay parent. Can produce an excellent white wine when fruit is mature. Like Chardonnay, wines can be fermented and aged in stainless steel to produce fruit forward wines, or they can be barrel ...
Cayuga White is one of the most productive and disease resistant varieties grown in New York and was Cornell University's first variety released specifically for winemaking. This versatile grape can be made into a semi-dry to sweet wine and is often blended with other white hybrids such as Seyval...
First release from Dr. Bruce Reisch's "no spray" grape breeding program at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station, Geneva. High disease resistance and potential to produce red wines of good quality. Good resistance to powdery and downy mildew but susceptible to black rot and phomopsis...
White seedless muscat grape 'produces a light crisp German-type wine'. This cultivar is reported to be hardier than Seyval and Vidal 256 but not as hardy as Ventura or Concord. It produces white wines similar to riesling.
Villard Blanc produces a late-ripening white grape in large, loose, compound clusters and has good resistance to Pierce's disease. Produces an outstanding table grape, and is typically used for blending to produce more neutral white wines.
L' Acadie blanc is a complex hybrid grown primarily in Nova Scotia where some consider it hardier than Seyval. Suitable for areas with cool, short growing seasons. Wines from fruit grown in warmer regions tend to lack acidity. Used as a varietal, in blends, or as a sparkling wine.
