Depending on where you are located there are a few choices for no/minimum spray varieties. If cold hardiness or short season limitations aren't an issue, Norton (black) and Villard Blanc are viable choices. Chambourcin is also pretty good for fungal resistance. Regent is an early red wine grape with good disease resistance. It will not have extreme cold hardiness. I would recommend at least a dormant spray with any grape to eliminate overwintering fungi.
