Life Style / Wine Grapes / Brilliant: T.V. Munson developed (1883) complex V.labrusca/vinifera/bourquiniana cultivar derived from a Lindley x Delaware cross. Has large clusters of dark-red berries reported as susceptible to Pierce's Disease, Fantail and Tomato Ringspot virus diseases. Reported as cold-hardy to -15 deg. F (-26 C). According to Hedrick, Grapes of New York, 1912, it is moderately productive, ripening unevenly in New York about the same time as Delaware, with clusters that can hang for weeks on the vine. Regarded as not quite the equal of the latter variety for tablegrape use, having a more astringent skin.
