Edelweiss
It is a very winter-hardy wine grape variety, pale green in color, derived from crossing the Minnesota and Ontario grapes. It was developed by Elmer Swenson in 1980. The clusters are large and rather loose.
The Early picking of the grape is essential for making a wine. Should Edelweiss not be harvested early, the completely ripe Vitis labrusca flavoring becomes too strong for the palate.
Edelweiss was first developed as a table grape. This variety bears the Minnesota winters, Edelweiss has strong resistance to grape disease and fungus and can tolerate negative thirty-five-degree temperatures…
