Promising Cross for the NW
Have a very interesting hybrid ...
ES 5-3-89 x n74 longii/Muscat of Alexandria 'E' I used this as a seed parent for Viognier pollen, and now have 5 seedlings growing in a test row. The top parent has very good sized clusters 'bigger than Leon Millot' white fruit and a sort of Riesling Fruity flavor. Viognier speaks for itself. It is hoped that I can gain an earlier maturing Viognier type for white wines to grow in the never too warm Puget Sound region, where 60 degrees F is T- shirt weather. Another fine hybrid is my Saint Pepin x RW Munson #1. This one has white fruit, 'slightly' pink, and flavor is much like Saint Pepin. Have heard good reports from the Midwest on its wine qualities. Here, it is less Rank than St. Pepin and usually ripens late midseason, but this year, hardly anything got past 18 brix. |
