Details
Norton (also known as Cynthiana) is a V. labruscana x V. aestivalis hybrid with a long history in eastern US wine production, particularly in Missouri and Virginia. Norton produces small to medium clusters of firm, round, black berries that ripen very late and require a warm growing season. When fully ripe, Norton can produce a rich, full-bodied red wine with outstanding aging potential.
**** Norton is primarily sold on a waitlist basis due to the level of difficulty to propagate this product. **** Please contact us through chat, phone or email to be added to the waitlist.

Training System
Top Wire Cordon (TWC) Download Top Wire Cordon PDF

Top Wire Cordon is arguably the most efficient training system for grapes, especially for procumbent or downward growing cultivators, especially those not prone to late season fruit rots due to shading of the fruiting zone. Summer labor is much less than that required with Vertical Shoot Positioned (VSP) training as shoot positioning and leaf pulling are generally not required. Learn More
